On the significance of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty’s imitation of ancient bronze inscriptions in genre studies
摘要 Abstract
東周器銘的仿古是立足新的時代語境而模仿古代文辭的一種書寫方式，是在純文本寫作日益佔據主導優勢的情況下，依然仿效“記録一修改”模式的某些特徵的做法。具體而言，仿古主要包括擬辭和擬篇兩個層面。前者是從古老的“詩”“書”類文獻和舊器銘文中採擇詞彙、語法對新文本進行“作舊”處理。後者是在西周器銘常見類型，如册命、訓誥等基本消隱的情況下，重又參照舊文本改寫事實以製作同類銘文。這造就了東周銘體獨特的演變節奏。仿古的主要目的在於利用銘體穩定的文本特性和禮制屬性以彰顯作器者的權力合法性。其影響經由傳世東周文獻的傳導，開啓了秦漢以後長期追求簡古弘深的銘體創作，對銘體傳统的塑造作用是關鍵的。其手法與原因，一定程度上又含有超出東周時代的啓發價值，具有特殊的文體學意義。
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty’s imitation of ancient bronze inscriptions was a way of writing that imitated the ancient languages based on a new era context. It was a practice that disregarded the increasing dominance of pure text writing and imitated features of the “record-modify” mode. It mainly included two levels of practical techniques: imitation of words and imitation of texts. The former involved selecting vocabulary and grammar from documents related to Shi and Shu, as well as inscriptions on old bronzes, to “nake old” the new texts. The latter was the practice of rewriting facts based on old texts to create similar inscriptions, disregarded the almost disappearance of common types of Western Zhou inscriptions such as Ming, Xun and Gao. This led to a unique evolution rhythm of the inscriptions during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The main purpose of the imitation was to utilize the stable textual characteristics and ritual attributes of inscriptions to demonstrate the legitimacy of the makers’ power. And its influence was transmitted through the literature of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which began the long-term pursuit of simple and elegant inscriptions after the Qin and Han dynasties. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty’s imitation of ancient bronze inscriptions played a crucial role in shaping the tradition of inscriptions, and its techniques and reasons, to a certain extent, also contained inspirational value that transcended the era, which demonstrated unique significance in genre studies.
