Research Of The Structural System Of The Shanghai Museum Chu Scripts On Bamboo Slips

Based on the investigation of the Structural System of the Shanghai Museum Chu Scripts on Bamboo Slips, this paper describes the accurate quantity and percentage of these characters in each kind of the structures. Besides, it also tries to discuss the relevant rules and the development trend of the Structural System.The research of the newly discovered inscriptions of the Shanghai Museum Chu Scripts on Bamboo is a comparatively emerging tectonic plate nowadays. But most of the research there are focus on deciphering. Therefore, based on existing research, exhausting up to the latest inscription of the Shanghai Museum Chu Scripts on Bamboo Slips material using statistical research tools, and describing the Structural System of these newly inscriptions have the important meaning.This paper makes a systematic study of the 2 349 inscriptions on bamboo slips which have clear and definite structural elements. By using of the computer technique, we have made a statistic analysis of their structural attribute. Thus we divide them into Reasonable Structure and Non-reasonable Structure. For the Reasonable Structure, we further divide them into "Xiangxing", "Zhishi", "Huiyi", "Xingsheng", "Shuangsheng" and "Jianshu". We show the accurate quantity for each kind of these Structures.On that basis, we then tries to discuss the belonging of "He Ti Xiangxing", "Fen Hua Zhishi", "Dan Yi Cheng Zi Gou Jian Huiyi", "Yi Sheng", "Hui Yi Jian Sheng", "Xingsheng Jian Huiyi" and "Zhishi Jian Sheng".Furthermore, through the historical comparison among Oracle-bone Inscriptions and Bronzes-inscriptions in a detailed way, we reveal the relevant rules and developing situation about the ancient Structural System.
