A Study On Sun Yirang's Concrete Entity Noun Interpreting In ZhouLiZhengYi

The concrete entity noun interpreting was of great value in Hermeneutics. There was entity noun identification at least early in ZhouDynasty. The system of entity noun interpreting had came into being since Erya. It had great achievements in QingDynasty. With the development of natural sciences and archaeology, Chinese academics went on with the study in traditional ways and with the new method as well. The new materials which they applied to entity noun interpreting are consisted of the institutions dialects documents. So they had made an important breakthrough in conventional pattern which is characterized with the circular manipulation between historical documents and improved the entity noun interpreting to modern stage. Sun Yirang's ZhouliZhengyi was produced in renewal era. It has played an important role in the history of entity noun interpreting. It was of great achievements and attached new idea to modern entity noun interpreting. Meanwhile, there was not a systematic study on this book so far. It was not conducive to pursue the researches on the basis of summing up of the academic experiences and lessons. We summed up in content and form of Sunyiran's ZhouliZhengyi on the basis of former studying and in the background of modern entity noun interpreting and pointed out the significance and imperfectness of Sunyiran's entity noun interpreting.The research's significance:Firstly, replenished the deficiency of entity interpreting and Sun Yirang at present.Secondly, summarized the value and deficiency of entity interpreting in QingDynasty.Thirdly, provided useful materials for the archaeology.The research's innovation:Firstly ,the synchronic studies and diachronic studies .We summarized the inheritance innovation overall characteristics and gave overall evaluation to Sun Yirang's entity interpreting.Secondly, the use of materials.We used the archaeological finds to validating the Sun Yirang's entity interpreting. we reached Sun Yirang's from news angle.Thirdly, the ontological study and application research. We probed into the importance of Sun Yirang's entity interpreting in Lexical semantics compilation of dictionary and archaeology. This replenished the deficiency of application research.The dissertation was divided into seven parts corresponding to the contents:Chapter I was introduction. It included three parts: Firstly, We teased out the history of entity noun interpreting from this mass of detail and summed up the features of the dynasties in history. Secondly, We probed into the Sun Yirang's life and historical origins of his learning. Thirdly, We introduced the current situation of the research, the significance , the research methodology and so on.Chapter II defined the meaning of entity noun and counted things of categories in ZhouliZhengyi. It included two parts. Firstly, We gave the definition of entity noun from the perspective of relationship between referent and parts of speech on the basis of document materials and elders' studying: Entity noun was the concrete and particularized thing and belonged to a certain category. It possessed individual distinguished features; In terms of language, the relationship between its pronunciation and semantic was acceptable for the public. Secondly, ZhouliZhengyi consisted of fourteen kinds of entity noun systems. The entity noun systems had three characters: gadability , systematicness, universality. We defined the entity noun systems mostly in accordance with LiuXingjun's ZhouliMingwuciYanjiu. Whereas, this dissertation differ from his book.Chapter III summed up SunYirang's achievements in relationship between name and content of entity noun. It included three parts. Firstly, it was about the research of name of entity noun. SunYirang worked over the entity noun's synonym. He not only pointed out the sorts of synonym but also illuminated the content which general name didn't contain. He offered the origin, research methods and condition of usage. This investigation supplied reference with compilation of dictionary. He revealed the origin of name in terms of the entity noun's appearance including the direction, the color and the function. He also explained the evolvement of the entity noun's name in terms of the history. Secondly, He illustrated the cultural meaning of the entity noun . The cultural meaning included the social and the culture custom etc. SunYirang put the entity noun on the extensive culture background. Thirdly, SunYirang gave comprehensive research to relationship between name and of the entity noun. It included four parts: One must be familiar with entity if he wants to know the name; A name had many interconvertible meanings ; One must be familiar with the relevance of entity if he wants to know the relevance of name; Dual law of evidence has shown the agreement of name and entity. Sun Yirang complied with the principles of these four rules in his entity noun interpreting. He did the comprehensive research on relationship between name and content of entity noun, and it is helpful to distinguish entity noun interpreting from general words interpreting. Entity noun also was regarded as object by Sun Yirang. He discerned matters at the culture level and studied the pertinent question of semantic. He achieved the unification of interpreting between name and content.Chapter IV focuses on the traditional means of hermeneutics in the entity noun interpreting Sun Yirang used. It included five parts. Firstly, the method of striving for the semantic meaning by means of the structure of Chinese characters. Sun Yirang interpreted entity noun by means of the structure of Chinese characters. He pointed out the relationship with the structure of the Chinese characters. This had important implications for the research of entity noun. Secondly, He strived for the semantic meaning by means of the pronunciation of the Chinese characters. This part discussed the application of borrowing of words and connection of family words and revealing of the origin of name. Thirdly, Analogy and its application. He interpreted the entity noun's appearance and the properties and the function and origin of name and family words. He explained the paralinguistic phenomena briefly and vividly. Fourthly, The application of Sanwen and Duiwen. This part consisted of the situation of the Sanwen and Duiwen and the types of semantic change. We pointed out the significance of the Sanwen and Duiwen. we pointed out the similarities and differences between the Sanwen Duiwen and the TongyanXiyan. Fifthly, The attest of the historical documents. SunYirang used the historical documents to describing the appearance, looking for the origin of name, the synonym classifying discerning the grapheme in terms of function and so forth. He interpreted the entity noun in all dimensions. SunYirang cited the historical documents in principle of equivalence and connectivity which made the historical documents in good order.In Chapter V we made the synchronic and diachronic studies to SunYirang's hermeneutics means. Firstly, the diachronicus comparisons with Sun Yirang and Zhengxuan.It included threeparts. SunYirang inherited Zhengxuan in the matter of discerning the grapheme, application of shengxun, citing historical documents, investigating the evolution of the entity noun. He not only inherited the means but also extended the content and scope. There were many differences between Sun Yirang and Zhengxun: Zhengxun attached importance to principal character; Sun Yirang attached importance to global feature. Zhengxun explained one item according to itself. SunYirang explained one item according to other evidence. Zhengxun explained solitarily. Sun Yirang explained systematically.Secondly,The diachronicus comparisons with SunYirang and ChengYaotian.Themost prominent peculiarity in ChengYaotian's explaining practice were citing of unearthed cultural relics and applying of slang language and means of etymology. This was a breakthrough in traditional entity noun interpreting and gave a new pattern for modern entity noun interpreting. Besides having an advantage in citing historical documents, Sun Yirang seldom used the means. So, he was very conservative and had slight achievement in entity noun interpreting. Thirdly, Systematic evolvement of traditional entity noun interpreting and analysis about entity noun interpreting. Entity noun interpreting had been systematical evolvement from ZhouDynasty to QingDynasty. We analyzed the systematical evolvement from three perspectives: looking for the reason, summarizing global feature which in the comparison and pointing out the prospective trend of entity noun interpreting.Chapter VI revealed the value of the entity noun interpreting. It included three parts. Firstly, The value of lexical semantics .Mostly, It mainly about the points as follows: the research of semantic system which included the original and derived meaning, the original and metaphorical meaning, and synonymic meaning. Secondly, the interpretation of the law of development of the semantic. SunYirang explained in detail the semantic to the changes of expanding, narrowing, transferring, translocation in the meaning development process. Finally, summarized the sememe. He provided a reference to summarizing the sememe and sememe variants. Secondly, the value to dictionaries. The incisive analysis of the case had the important value for the codification and revision of dictionaries, This can be used to correct the error dictionaries, testify the identification documents and determine the source of earlier semantic. Thirdly, the archaeological value.The entity noun interpreting not only provided a literature reference to determine the historical relic's age and nature, but also provided a method of archaeological support and theoretical guidance.Chapter VII revealed imperfectness of the entity noun interpreting, including three aspects: Firstly, the methods were conservative. We used the archaeological relic to validating the Sun Yirang's explanation of Zheng Xiangzun Jizun Gu Dan Jiangyi and so on .We found the error which to resulted from the ancients and pointed out the conservative methods which caused to the bias on the conclusions. Secondly, Sun Yirang's understanding of the relationship between pronunciation and semantic was inaccurate. Sun Yirang cited the Shiming 217 times, and he didn't analyze the phenomenon of abusing the shengxun. Furthermore, If we compared with Wang Niansun, we will find that the a weak basis of phonology caused the imperfect explanation. Thirdly, the lack of theoretical system. There's a great shortage of investigation to hermeneutics term in Sun Yirang 's interpreting practice. He used many synonym hermeneutics terms and understood the implication of synonym hermeneutics terms inaccurately. Furthermore, The deficiency of the theory's system. If we compared with DuanYucai and ZhangTaiyan, We will find the lack in the theory's summary. This deficiency was also the common limitations in traditional academic.
