An explanation of the character “” in Oracle Bone Inscription

摘要 Abstract

甲骨文的字,目前學界有釋“垂”、釋“叕”、釋“瓜”等觀點,這些觀點在字形、辭例釋讀方面都存在一些缺陷。本文從的字形特徵入手進行分析,認爲該字應當是“本”之初文,在相關祭祀卜辭中應理解爲人牲的軀榦或下部,或與商代的肢解或腰斬之刑有關。

At present, there are various viewpoints about the “” character Oracle Bone Inscription, such as the interpretation of “chui 垂”, “zhui 叕”, and “gua 瓜”, these viewpoints have some shortcomings in terms of form and example interpretation. This paper analyzes the form characteristics of “” and believes that this character should be the initial form of “ben 本”. In related oracle inscriptions, it should be understood as the torso or lower part of a human sacrifice, it may be related to the dismemberment or beheading punishment in the Shang Dynasty.
