中文摘要 |
本文針對甲骨文「巫」字之構形含意做初步探究,先整理各家對於「巫」字推論內容,並據以評析,推論以道具說最為可能;再以中國古代天文考古及甲骨文卜辭等證據,舉河南濮陽墓葬與周脾算經完全相符,說明古代人對於天文知識認知甚深;加以商代重視四方風,按其東南西北之順序定位,與後世文獻相符。依四方定位之宇宙觀與河圖洛書的考古證據,證明中國古代確有河圖洛書之實,「巫」字字形與河圖洛書之圖樣大致相符,本文據以推論「巫」字之四方定位使用之工具,很可能是當時巫覡使用河圖洛書等工具。 |
英文摘要 |
In this paper, the author has firstly studied the inferences made by various schools of ancient Chinese scholars who did research into the shapes and meanings of the word ”WU” (witchcraft) in the Oracle Bone Script. The author has drawn a preliminary conclusion that ”WU” (witchcraft) would be most likely a kind of ”instrument” in ancient China. The author has then used evidences collected from the ancient astronomy and archaeology, such as ”bu-ci”, the oracle inscriptions on the tortoise shells as further proof. For example, the inscriptions taken from the graves at Puyang, Honan Province, China, were compared with the mathematics described on ”Zhou Pi Suan Jing”, a most important ancient mathematics book written in about 100 B.C. The comparison demonstrated a full consistency between the two, thus proving that our ancestors already had a deep knowledge about astronomy over 3000 years ago. In addition, my research also shows that our ancestors in the Shang Dynasty (1700 B.C.-1100 B.C.) had already paid much attention to the Gods who controlled the ”wind” from four directions; they had positioned those ”wind” Gods in the order of the East, the South, the West, and the North. This evidence also matched with what was described in the ancient literatures discovered a few generations later. For instance, the archaeological evidences discovered from the Her-Tu and the Luo-Shu also demonstrated that our ancestors had defined the Universe by ”four-direction” positioning. In return, using the same way to define the Universe in all the above-mentioned documents has also proved the existence of the Her-Tu and the Luo-Shu. The word ”WU” (witchcraft) in its Oracle Bone Script appearing in almost the same pattern as that in the Her-Tu and the Luo-Shu is thus inferred that the tools used by the ancient witches and wizards to define the four directions of the Universe are likely to be the same as those described by the Her-Tu and the Luo-Shu. |
