摘要
传世文献记载的先秦时期作为国族名的"祭",在西周铜器铭文中作"溓",而出土的战国楚简则写作"晋""箭"诸形.器铭和楚简中此字均从"兼"得声,与传世文献中作为国族名的"祭"字存在音韵假借关系.战国楚简诸字为厘析周公之胤的祭国相关器物提供了宝贵材料.
Abstract
The character"祭",which is a nation name in extant pre-Qin documents,is the character"溓"in inscriptions on Western Zhou bronzeware,and is written as"晋","箭"and other characters on unearthed Chu bamboo slips of the Warring States Period.The aforementioned characters in inscriptions and on Chu bamboo slips all have"兼"as their phonetic element,and are phonetic loan characters of the character"祭",a nation name in extant documents.The characters on Chu bamboo slips are valuable materials for the determination and analysis of vessels related to the Zhai State,a vassal state ruled by the descendants of Dan,the Duke of Zhou.
