The Research Of The Yi On The Bamboo Slips Unearthed From Marquis Haihun's Tomb

The author,in the dissertation,tries to make a complete interpretation on the content inscribed on the bamboo slips which are related to the Yijing unearthed from the tomb of Marquis Haihun,and makes a comparative study with the works by Prof.Li Ling,seven parts of his misleading interpretations being rectifying here;clarifies two parts of the content,looking forward to discussing them with Prof.Li Ling;based on the context,newly interprets seven parts of obscure content It can be seen that the content is made up of five aspects:sighs,treaties of remarks on the trigrams,judgment,original text of the Zhouyi,and statements attached.This system is vastly different from other version of the Zhouyi on the unearthed bamboo slips.Based on the study of the content,the author points out six "most notably"conceived in the the Yijing unearthed from the tomb of Marquis Haihun.First,it is,up to now,the earliest literature in which the symbols of yin and yang are employed to express the hexagrams as it does in the current version of the Zhouyi.Second,so far,it is the earliest version marking the names of the upper and lower trigrams in a hexagram.Third,it is the earliest literature which named the eight original hexagrams,in the eight palace hexagrams,with character?.Forth it is also the earliest literature in which the content of tuan ?(lit.judgment)appears.In the content,there are sixty-four hexagrams matching with heavenly stems and earthly branches.This is related to the manuscript of Qinghua bamboo slip version,but quite distinguished.Fifth,it is the earliest literature in which the orderly sequence of sixty-four hexagrams is identical with that of current version of the Zhouyi.This demonstrates that the orderly sequence of the sixty-four hexagrams in the current version of the Zhouyi formed in ancient times.Sixth,it is the earliest and the only literature from the same archaeological site in which there are both the hexagrams sequence of the current version of the Zhouyi and the trigrams sequence of the silk version of the Zhouyi.it is of great importance for the study of the relationship and tradition of hexagrams sequence of the current version and trigrams sequence of the silk version.In addition,the Yijing unearthed from the tomb of Marquis Haihun has a quite characteristic in the names of the hexagrams,such as,the name of the hexagram Qian in the current version is written as Jian?,that of the hexagram Kun as Chuan ?,that of hexagram Kan as Xian ?,that of the hexagram Li as,that of hexagram Zhen as Chen?,that of hexagram Gen as Gen?,that of the hexagram Xun as Suan ?,that of the hexagram Dui as Shuo ?,and that of hexagram Pi as Fu?.This has a relation of mutual reference with the other versions of the Yi,which is of great importance for the study of the inheritance and evolution of the content of the Yi.In this dissertation,the author,based on the study of the manuscript,reveals the rules of four directions matching with the sixty-four hexagrams,a circle of sixty years matching with the sixty-four hexagrams,and restores the original diagram of hexagrams related to the solar term.Space-time framework is rebuilt in this dissertation by analyzing the related hexagrams in the version.A comparative study of the Marquis Haihun version with Shanghai bamboo slip version,Qinghua bamboo slip version of Shifa(lit.the divine method),Wangjiatai bamboo slip version of Guicang,Mawangdui silk version of the Zhouyi,Fuyang bamboo slip version of the Zhouyi,is elaborated here and the ideas conceived in the Marquis Haihun version is deeply discussed as well.The inner relationship between the different versions is revealed.It is clear that the early Guaqi theory(lit.the trigrams or hexagrams change corresponding to the seasonal points)is conceived in the Marquis Haihun version of the Yi,so it can be served as a valuable document for the study of early Guaqi theory.A complete space-time cosmic system is set up in the version,which started from late Warring States Period and Qin-Han Period and opened up the Han Yi tradition.The author also discusses the origin and development of the Marquis Haihun version of the Yi,combining Marquis Haihun Liu He' s biography and teachers.Some innovative ideas are rendered here that the Marquis Haihun version is an outline of the Yi,since its hexagrams symbols,remarks of the hexagrams,judgement,original text of the Zhouyi,and the statements attached are all briefly inscribed in one bamboo slip.The judgement is clear so it suitable for those who are engaged in divination.The statement attached can be further researched by turning to judgement and the original text of the Zhouyi.It probably turns to the purpose of divination as it does in the Fuyang Bamboo slip version of the Zhouyi.The later focuses on local civic divination while the former focused on divining for the aristocrat,offering sacrifices,war,and so on.In the end,the author makes a conclusion that the Marquis Haihun version of the Yi has a complete system of Guaqi theory and is of great importance in the Yi-ology history.
