The Research on Taboo Words in Wang Fuzhi's Handwritten Version of Nightmare
The handwritten version of Nightmare,with 24 629 words in the original and 129 words lost,is one of the few hand-written documents of Wang Fuzhi.From the perspective of words,Nightmare avoids the national taboos of the Ming Dynasty,such as Zhao,Chang,Luo,You,Xiao,Yi,and so on.It also avoids the taboos of the Wang's family,such as Chao and Pin,but without avoi-ding the taboo of the Qing Dynasty about Xuan.It truly reflects Wang Fuzhi's specific methods of avoiding taboos,and also reflects Wang Fuzhi's calligraphy status of sticking to his identity as an adherent of the Ming Dynasty.
