摘要
秦汉文献记载"咸池"有"日浴之处""星宿名""乐名"三义项.分析三义项使用频率可知"日浴之处"使用频率最低,其余两项使用频率则远高于此义项,与今相反.经考证"戌""咸"本义及引申脉络可知"咸池"本义为"星宿名",指西宫白虎中三小星.白虎主杀伐,"咸池"主五谷,二者均与民生相关,因此借"星宿名"命名祭祀地神所作乐曲;又因咸池星运行规律特点,将其引申为"日浴之处".
Abstract
According to Qin and Han literature,"Xianchi"has three meanings:"place for sunbath-ing","name of constellation",and"name of music".By analyzing the frequency of usage of the three meanings,it can be concluded that"sunbathing place"has the lowest frequency of usage,while the other two terms have a much higher frequency of usage than this meaning,which is the opposite.Through re-search,it can be concluded that the original meaning and extended context of"Xu"and"Xian"are"name of constellation",referring to the three small stars in the White Tiger of the Western Palace.The White Tiger dominates the hunting expedition,and"Xianchi"dominates five grains,both of which are related to people's livelihoods.Therefore,the music for worshipping the Earth God is named after the"name of the constellation";Due to the characteristics of the movement pattern of Xianchi Star,it is extended to be the place for sunbathing".
