摘要
甲骨文■、■、■三种形体不同之字,前辈学者考释其为卣字的繁简之异。然三字所从文字偏旁有异,在甲骨卜辞中的语境和用法完全不同,说明这是三个有相互关联、而字义完全不同之字。把三字所从■偏旁与自然界实物对比后发现,■尽管形态有异,但它是匏(匏、葫芦)的象形文字。从瓠从皿的■字,是葫芦瓢漂在盛水器皿中之形,它是瓢的会意字。从瓠从倒立庐形的■字,殷商时期其材质由木质转变为青铜,盛放专用鬯酒,是为卣字。对瓠、瓢、卣三字的考订,证实了文字形体的细微差异与甲骨文字义关系密切的观点。
The three characters■、■、■in oracle-bone inscriptions were argued to be simplified and complicated versions of the same character You in previous research.However,their contexts and usages in the oracle-bone inscriptions were completely different,which suggests that they should be three entirely different characters.■should be refer in g to a gourd.And■is a gourd ladle.■depicts a gourd ladle floating in a water vessle.■refers to a vessle you of the Shang dynasty,a chang beverage container,which was originally made from wood and became cast by bronze in the end.This study shows the importance in recognizing the subtle differences of different oracle-bone inscriptions.
