A Study On The Recognition Methods Applicable To The Graphs Written On Chu Bamboo Slips And Silk Manuscripts

For the study of ancient Chinese characters,recognition the characters is a basic work and task.Since the discovery of Chu bamboo slips and silk manuscripts in the 1940 s and 1950 s,the textual research of Chu bamboo slips and silk manuscripts has lasted for more than 70 years.During this period,a lot of valuable experience has been accumulated in character recognition.This paper classifies and discusses the recognition methods applicable to the graphs written on Chu bamboo slips and silk manuscripts,which is based on existing theories,and also refer to the characteristics of the script on the Chu bamboo slips and silk manuscripts as well as to the experiences about character recognition.This is to make the relevant research more precise and targeted,also,to supplement the existing theories.This paper is divided into eleven parts: introduction,chapters 1 to 9,and conclusion.The introduction introduces the relevant concepts,and the first chapter introduces the discovery of Chu bamboo slips and Chu silk manuscripts and introduces the history of recognizing the graphs written on them.The second to ninth chapters,as the main body of the article,discuss the recognition methods applicable to graphs written on Chu bamboo slips and silk manuscripts.The second to fifth chapters discuss the methods of character recognition related to the graphic shape and structure.The second chapter discusses the method of contrasting graphs(a method of analyzing graphic shape),which is divided into six sections.This method is to contrast the unknown graph with other graphs,including the graphs in oracle bone inscriptions,bronze inscriptions,script of the State of Chu,six states script,copied ancient characters,Qin and Han script,and characters in Shuowen jiezi and other ancient dictionaries.The third chapter discusses the method of analyzing the components of the graphs(also a method of analyzing the graphic shape).It contains four methods related to the shape of components,including: recognizing a certain component and a series of graphs containing this component,dividing the components of a graph correctly,distinguishing the components with similar or identical shapes,and identifying and analyzing the wrong characters.The fourth chapter discusses the method of exploring the history of the graphic shapes(also a method of analyzing the graphic shape),which is to use the evolution laws of the graphic shapes.It is divided into five sections,including simplification,complexity,differentiation,corruption,and assimilation.The fifth chapter discusses the methods related to the sound and meaning of graphs,which is divided into three sections.This method is to derive the sound and meaning of a graph by using the graphic components that reflects the sound or meaning,including using the phonetic components,using the semantic components,and analyzing the relationship of the graphic components.The sixth and seventh chapters discuss the methods related to context and text.The sixth chapter discusses the method of context deduction,which is divided into seven sections,including analyze the meaning of contexts and words;use contexts with special forms;use common collocations in ancient Chinese;use rhymes,use the rules of phonological borrowing,use the relationships between characters and the words they are used as,and use special "context".Chapter seven discusses the method of text comparison,which is divided into four sections.First,introduce the Chu bamboo slips articles that can be compared with other articles,then discusses the recognition methods,including comparing the Chu bamboo slip and silk manuscript texts with other texts(including received texts and unearthed texts),and using the information provided by the relevant texts.Chapter eight discuss the influences of some factors on the graph recognition,including the writer and the base of the text,appearance characteristics of bamboo scripts(such as writing space,the order of bamboo slips,punctuations,ink penetration,bamboo cracks,and the vestiges of knitting rope),photos of different quality,and the information obtained through archaeology.Chapter nine discusses the comprehensive application of methods.
