内容简介

在人类历史上，汉字是使用者人数最多的文字，也是世界上唯一迈进21世纪计算机时代的形符文字。从商代甲骨文算起，汉字已经被连续使用3500年之久，是人类历史上使用时间最长的文字。然而相对于其它的起源文字，鉴于汉字在人类历史上的特殊地位及在国际范围推广汉字认知教学的重要，简帛文献认读的这一块空白在国内外都有待填补。由于缺乏认读简帛文献的合适英语课本，所以本书采用中英双语读片读简的方式编写而成，既可作为以英语教授古文字的教材课本，也适于自学古文字之用。附有凡例、索引以及相关秦简图片等，有助于更多国内外读者籍由对简帛文献的认知，进而对中国上古先秦文明产生兴趣。目录前言Foreword......001凡例ExplanatoryNotes......001導讀Introduction......001第一組葉書Group1TheChronicle......001一、喜1.ChronicleofXǐ......006第二組質日Group2Zhìrì......014二、三十四年質日2.CalendarofThirty-fourthYear......018第三組酒令Group3WineOrder......029三、東採涇桑3.PluckingMulberryatJīng......032四、不日可增4.TheDayCannotBeAdded......034五、㱃不醉5.NotDrunken......036第四組日書Group4DayBook......039六、除6.Almanacs......049七、人字7.BearingaChild......052八、出邦門8.WalkingOutofCityGate......055九、夢9.Dream......057十、戎曆日10.RóngCalendarDay......062第五組夢書Group5DreamBook......066十一、占夢書11.BookofDreamDivination......071第六組醫方Group6MedicalRecipes......078十二、已腸辟方12.ARecipeforTreatingDysentery......084十三、不癉病方13.ARecipeforPreventingColds......086十四、長髮方14.ARecipeforHairGrowth......088十五、治暴心痛方15.ARecipeforCuringSuddenHeartburn......089十六、祝心疾方16.ARecipeforTreatingHeartache......091十七、已癰方17.ARecipeforTreatingCarbuncle......092第七組數書Group7BookonMathematics......094十八、取禾程術18.MethodofCropMeasurement......098十九、誤券19.TheIncorrectCoupon......100二十、周田術20.MethodforCalculatingCircularArea......102二十一、句股算題21.PythagoreanProblem......104第八組宦學讀本Group8ExhortationsforOfficials......106二十二、爲吏之道22.TheWayofBeinganOfficial......109第九組私人信件Group9PersonalLetters......113二十三、黑夫信件23.LetterfromHēifū......116第十組王室或皇室文書Group10TheRoyalDocuments......120二十四、更修爲《田律》命書24.DecreeonRevisionofStatutesonAgriculture......127二十五、新地吏勿廢制書25.DecreeonOfficialsofNewOccupiedAreaMustNotBeDismissed......130二十六、舉留獄上之制書26.DecreeonReportingDetainedCases......132第十一組機構往來文書Group11DocumentsofBureaucraticAgencies......135二十七、遷陵守丞敬告司空主書27.OfficialDispatchfromActingAssistantMagistrateofQiānlíngNamedJìngtoMinisterofConvictLabor......139二十八、遷陵守丞敦狐卻書28.OfficialDispatchonRejectionofApplicationfromActingAssistantMagistrateofQiānlíngNamedDūnhú......143第十二組律令Group12StatutesandDecrees......147二十九、田律29.StatutesonAgriculture......152三十、除吏律30.StatutesonStaffAppointment......154三十一、寄長令31.OrdersonAdoption......157三十二、屏匿令32.OrdersonCriminalConcealment......160第十三組式Group13ModelFormats......163三十三、賊死33.AMurderCase......167第十四組法律答問Group14QuestionsandAnswersonLaws......172三十四、擅殺弟子後34.UnauthorizedMurderofBrother’sSon......175三十五、毆高大父母何論35.PenaltyforBeatingGreatGrandparents......177三十六、鬭而盡拔人須眉36.PluckingTotalBeardsandEyebrowsatBrawl......179三十七、何謂梃37.WhatisTǐng?......181第十五組户籍等其他行政文書Group15HouseholdRegistrationandOtherAdministrativeDocuments......183三十八、南陽户籍38.HouseholdRegisterofNányáng......190三十九、令史釦伐閲39.CurriculumVitaeofaLìngshǐNamedKòu......192四十、出糧券40.VoucherofFoodDelivery......194四十一、檢41.SealingTag......196四十二、卅四年遷陵課笥楬42.ATagHungonVesselwithEvaluationsofQiānlíngCountyduringtheThirty-fourthRegnalYear......198第十六組其他文獻Group16OtherDocuments......201四十三、泰原有死者43.ADeadPersonatTàiyuán......206四十四、更名方44.Name-ChangingFormula......210附録一秦制術語輯録Appendix1QínTerminology......215附録二練習答案Appendix2AnswerstoAllPracticeProblems......219附録三西方學者秦簡研究論著目録Appendix3WesternScholarshiponExcavatedTextsofthePre-DynasticandDynasticQínState......223后記Postscript......238
