| In the academic debate in the field of historical geography,there are many disagreements arising from the analysis of the meaning of a word in the literature,which involves the content in the field of linguistics.Historical geography,and even History,inevitably has to communicate with linguistic research in the process of conducting some research.Different interpretations of texts are extremely important to the interpretation of ancient texts.The character “Rui”,for example,for reference in related records,academic circles have always had different interpretations.This shows that the understanding of the word in the historical development of the process of deviation.Firstly,the correct interpret of “Rui” is helpful for understanding the historical events of documented,in this kind of literature,involves more than a record of the word “Rui” involving travel route,battlefield sites,etc.The interpretation of the word “Rui” is correct,to some extent,related to the accuracy of the reduction of these historical events.Secondly,it helps to overcome the phenomenon of unclear location and type,and provides theoretical guidance for the administrative management of place names and the information system of place names.In the research with the pre-qin literature,The glyph structure and phonetic features of “Rui”,and its word-formation characteristics have been analyzed,and the character “Rui” in the pre-qin period of regional distribution and use of the crowd has carried on the textual research.In the oracle bone inscriptions,bronze “Rui” glyph after textual research,found the character “Rui” in oracle first glyph is not commonly used “Rui” today,but” ”,as the character “Bei”.The “Rui” consisted with “Shui” and “Nei” should be "north" in make private copies and correct change after the prominent characters.“Bei” pronounced close to the “north” in ancient Chinese language,and "Rui" pronouncedclose to the word“inside”.The similarity in dialect in the pronunciation may cause its pronunciation in the process of text evolution along with the character turned to another shape.“Rui”may be related to the ancients’ in-depth observation and understanding of natural geographical changes.Due to the influence of the coriolis force,flow accumulation of river in the north are more likely to appear,more likely to be eroded,south bank of the build-up of river shore or in the water,probably resulting from site righteousness implied in the water.The accumulation and erosion process of the river make the river appear curved phenomenon,resulting in water meandering.Accumulation of river channel and erosion process makes the river bend phenomenon,resulting in a water butz.Exist in “Rui” from the north into the main tributaries,characters,on the basis of combining the,into the phenomenon of communication,produce water phase into the righteousness.With “rui” the meaning of water meaning of the word.Therefore speculate that "water north" is the original meaning of “rui”.Inductive “Rui” places specifically looked after and can find that almost all of them related to things flow of rivers,and basic it is located in the north bank of the river.“Rui” first to be the middle reaches of the Yellow River region,the western as the center,after spread to hanjiang river,huaihe river area.Use the word “Rui” crowd is single,then increase the crowd is developed from the first to use the word people,or be affected by the crowd of the first to use the word.“Rui” place name is along with the population movement gradually spread.In the process of migration,the word “Rui”place names from the downstream of han river and the huaihe river basin in the middle reaches of the Yellow River diffusion to a hierarchical watershed range,the use of most people in the middle reaches of the Yellow River is the first to use “Rui” word groups.“Rui” words in the two documents “History”,“zuo zhuan”shows way of word-formation,and word formation after the noun pragmatics are highly similar,can be speculated that the meaning of the word ”Rui” of the pre-qin period should have been for its original meaning,that is people use the original meaning.Therefore,the following conclusions:(1)the character“Rui” original meaning for the site.(2)“Rui” first to be the middle reaches of the Yellow River region,the western as the center.(3)the meaning of the word “Rui” extension,with the ancients started from the concept of river gradually expand.Using the correct meaning of the word “Rui”in the pre-qin literature “site” of the new interpretation of the original,but what is recorded in the pre-qin literature geography position,and obtain some new historical events take place. |
