In this paper,guided by the theory of the science of Chinese characters formation,it studied the basic situation of the the system of component parts,the types,characteristics,and reasons of variation of the components of characters in An Da bamboo slips(Ⅰ)from a comprehensive and multi-angle perspective.Relying on computer technology,we first established the datebase of components of characters in An Da bamboo slips(Ⅰ),and split the 2887 characters of An Da bamboo slips(Ⅰ)comprehensively.Then,we separately studied various aspects of the system of components,involving the number of levels,the classification of components,the number of components,the function and the combination mode of components.According to statistical results,An Da bamboo slips(Ⅰ)is based on a batch of highly productive components,and the zero to four floors are used as a number of layers.Its functional model is based on the combination of ideographic and phonetic,supplemented by the ideographic model.Compared with other Chu Bamboo Slips,the proportion of characters in the combination of ideographic and phonetic is low,which may be related to An Da bamboo slips(Ⅰ)belonging to the early and mid-Warring States period.Secondly,we carried out classification research on the phenomenon of abundant component variation,and mastered the characteristics of component variation in An Da bamboo slips(Ⅰ).There are many types of component variation,involving four major aspects: component complexity,component simplification,component alienation,and component assimilation.As far as the internal components of An Da bamboo slips(Ⅰ)are concerned,there are more complicated phenomena than simplifications,and people prefer to add horizontal strokes.The alienation and assimilation of components are mostly unidirectional.At the same time,this article explores the causes of component variation from three aspects: the characteristics of Chinese characters,the relationship between Chinese characters and Chinese,and the psychology of character formation.The variation of components is sometimes a constant adjustment based on the contradictions between form and meaning,characters and words,and practicality and beauty.Finally,this paper selects 10 common components and uses them as a unit to horizontally tell the similarities and differences between the shape of component in the An Da bamboo slips(Ⅰ)and the Baoshan Bamboo Slips,Shangbo Bamboo Slips,and Tsinghua Bamboo Slips.In contrast,An Da bamboo slips(Ⅰ)and Baoshan Bamboo Slips and Tsinghua Bamboo Slips have a higher degree of similarity,and the similarity of the character components of Shangbo Bamboo Slips is low.The innovations of this article mainly include the following two aspects:(1)From the perspective of the research objects,this article fills in the gaps in the component research of An Da bamboo slips(Ⅰ),and for the first time it exhaustively disassembles all the glyphs in An Da bamboo slips(Ⅰ),presenting it from all levels of the component system.(2)From the perspective of research methods,this article explores a new way to compare the similarity of different bamboo slips character components,which is by calculating the absolute value of the difference in the frequency of the common component morphological types in different bamboo slips,to judge the relationship of the form of component of different bamboo slips. |
