The Warring States Period Yan Weapon Inscriptions Configuration Research

The inscription is written on weapons, inscribed in ordnance text. In ordnance inscribed text long-standing, development to the Warring States period, the large number of disputes, weapons, weapon glyph is increasingly rich. Due to geographical differences, all weapons, written inscription of heterogeneous phenomenon is very serious. The former scholars in this field contribute a lot, still have the further research. Yan (燕) weapons inscription is an important part of the characters used in the Warring States period, in-depth understanding and research, in archaeology, contribute to the weapons of the country, level cohort analysis; in ancient philology, and help to further improve the diachronic, synchronic ancient text structure evolution framework, rich history of Chinese characters.The main contents of this thesis are as follows:The first chapter of introduction part mainly combs the Warring States Yan weapons inscription research profiles, and the data and research method in brief.The second chapter explains the purpose and meaning of words order, according to the word order principle of words, the arrangement and analysis of system. Through the study found, the Warring States Yan Ming text weapons interstate relations can be divided into different writing and heterogeneous character two class. Different writing differences are mainly in the stroke level and component level. Heterogeneous character differences are mainly in the components of the increase and the use of different components.The third chapter is the main part. First established orthographic separation principle, the component, function types are classified and analyzed, making inscription based component table. Through the foundation, analysis of the structure and configuration of the inscriptions, that inscription configuration characteristics. Through the study found:First, component types are divided into two categories:word structure and word piece, where word piece significantly more than a word piece. Second, the member functions are divided into four categories:shaping function, semantic function, phonetic function, indicating function. Third, the inscription on the structure type can be divided into plane structure and hierarchical structure hierarchical structure, which was significantly higher than that of plane structure. Fourth, the inscription on the configuration modes can be divided into nine categories:full functional synthetic word, standard shape synthesis words, phonetic synthetic word, will form a synthetic word, meaning, form and meaning of words can synthesis synthetic character, shape, sound and meaning of words sound synthesis, synthetic word. The function of the largest proportion of synthetic word. Fifth, the inscription on the configuration characteristics are mainly embodied in two aspects, namely the level of combination of a plane combination is dominant, fully functional synthetic words than other configuration mode is dominant.The fourth chapter by Yan(燕) weapons inscriptions and other national weapon glyph comparison, draw their differences, and analyzes, finally draw the swallow weapons inscription characteristics. Through the study found:Yan(燕) weapon glyph font style and an office in two aspects are obviously different, original single character words, the majority.
