The four kinds of ancient Japanese scriptures refer to scriptures of Ishiyama Temple,Shichiji Temple,Kongoji Temple,and Western Temple.Mainly researches on Erya(《尔雅》)cited in Volume 6 of the four Japanese scriptures,takes Song Jianben(宋监本)of Erya(《尔雅》)as a reference,combines features of Chinese characters from Han dynasty to Tang dynasty,and discusses various materials based on their contents and characters.The four kinds reflect characters'characteristics in Erya(《尔雅》)in Tang and before Tang dynasty,and the most of them are unofficial characters.The contents and shapes of the characters among the four kinds differ in a certain scale,which means the four kinds don't originate from the same source.What's more,they are profoundly different from Song Jianben(宋监本)in contents and shapes of characters.The four kinds share the commonalities of Japanese scriptures,while they also show their individuality from each other.
