The Explanation And Textual Verification Of "The Pronunciation And Meaning Of Zhou Yi" Of <Jing Dian Shi Wen>

According to Siku Q“uanshu Zongmu: Jing Dian Shi Wen^which including thirtyvolumes, was composed by Lu Yuanlang in Tang Dynasty. Lu Yuanlang was born in Wu?and worked with his second name Lu Deming.”"This book had compiled and didresearch on the pronunciations of The Five Classics, Xiaojing, The Analects, Lao-zi，Zhuang-zi and E，rya.. Having collected the literature of ancient and modern time,recorded the classics and explanations in detail and discirminated the pronunciations andmeanings, this book reflected and inherited the study of his own""It had collected theviewpoints of more than260phonologists living in the times of Han-Wei and SixDynasties, recorded the explanations of Confucians and veirfied the similairties anddifferences between different editions. Atfer this Lu Deming, all the scholars whoparticipated in explaining the classics, besides reading Zheng Zhu and Kong Shu’ had todepend on the texts saved in this book”. The explanations of Yi before Tang Dynasty are saved rarely. Since the thePronunciations and Meanings of Zhou Yi remains available, there is an important part ofthe precious heritages. The achievements of more than40phonologists recorded by thisbook，such as the resultss of Zixia, Jingfang, Xun Shuang and Zheng Xuan, is irch for theConfucians to understand the meanings of classics and do further research. Working onthe explanation and textual veirifcation, therefore, is very meaningful.The patterns of the explanation and etxtual veirfication, to take it birelfy, are listedas follows:1.The explanation and textual veirifcation selects the former collations of everypronunciation and meaning cautiously, and takes them for references.2.Because most of the pronunciations of Jing Dian Shi Wen have saved the featuresof Han-Wei and Six Dynasties, so the explanation and textual veirifcation compares everypronunciation of Jing Dian Shi Wen to which of the middle ancient times，and explainsthe transitions of the pronunciations as well as the relations between the pronunciationsand meanings of the words.3.The variations the Jing Dian Shi Wen include the same characters of various styles or different times, or which are in tongjia relations or wirtten in error. The explanationand textual veriifcation analyses every vairation depending on the ancient classics and thearcheological ifndings.4. Some of the explanations of Jirtg Dian Shi Wen are unreliable. The explanationand textual veirifcation refers the ancient classics and the Yi of vairous dynasties toexplain it. There are two schools of W-ology，which are Xiangshu and Yili. Theexplanation and textual veirifcation treats them equally without discrimination, selectingthe views cautiously so long as they are meaningful.If the explanation and textual veirfication can be beneficial to the academic ifeld，it’s mypleasure.
