| Up to now,there are tens of thousands of Chinese characters,most of which are combined characters,and tens of thousands of combined characters are also composed of a few monotypic characters.Some monotypic characters can represent a complete word in Chinese,but also a side part of the combined characters.Near the end of the Qing Dynasty,Sun Yirang advocate analysis side study ancient text,then Tang LAN,Yu Xingwu and other scholars make side analysis more scientific.Since the 21 st century,the research on Chinese character configuration has continued to deepen and made great achievements.In this paper,more than 140,000 oracle bone inscriptions and other oracle bone records,such as the Collection of Oracle Bone Inscriptions,Xiaotun Nandi Oracle Bone Inscriptions,Supplement of Oracle Bone Inscriptions and other Oracle bone Inscriptions,are taken as research materials,supported by the theoretical system of Chinese character configuration proposed by Wang Ning,and referred to Chen Nian Fu’s Summary Table of Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Words in Yin Ruins and Oracle Bone Inscriptions Dictionary.The author tries to collect the Oracle text that contains the "Xing"(including the "Chi" and "Chuo" symbols),and compare and analyze the component morphology,simplicity and structural changes of the "Xing","Chi" and "Chuo" symbols in the oracle text,to find out the development path of their character and the connection and differences between the components,give explanations,and try to explain the reasons.The main body of this paper is divided into six parts:The first part is the introduction,mainly based on the research perspective and research object of this paper,which briefly summarizes the research situation of Chinese character conformation in recent years and the research status and achievements of the "Xing" character in ancient Chinese characters,and introduces the material source,research content,research methods and research value of this paper.The second part,from the perspective of Chinese character configuration theory,explains the general situation and status of the character "Xing" in the oracle-bone inscription system and the configuration attributes of different components,and describes the component orientation,number and plane schema of the character "Xing","Chi" and "Chuo" in the oracle-bone inscription respectively.The third part mainly combines the original character appearance of a large number of "Xing" symbol characters in rubbings,in the form of two tables,respectively,to show the writing style of different groups of "Xing" symbol components in the two inscriptions group class systems,and summarizes the overall shape evolution trend of these components.The fourth part analyzes the different component functions of the Oracle bones character "Xing","Chi" and "Chuo",including form,meaning and so on,according to the classified component form and combined with specific word examples.The fifth part mainly analyzes the different association between the character "Xing" and related features such as "Ren" and "Zhi",and tries to explain the reasons.The sixth part is the conclusion,which summarizes the research results of this paper and the prospect of the future research on the individual character system of oracle-bone inscriptions. |
