秦惠文王禱祠華山玉版研究

Abstract

此篇論文收集並分析關於秦惠文王禱祠華山玉版的研究。第一章是續論，第二、三章是集釋與討論。第四章進一步探討「有秦曾孫小子駰」的身分、「周世既沒」、「陘」的身分與玉版與秦簡所見的「王室」的意思。拙文主張「陘」應該是幫秦駰與華山溝通的小神，而且王版的「王室」與秦簡的「王室」意思相近。第五章嘗試從山川祭祀的歷史與文化背景詮釋玉版，而且主張秦駰想要把新的土地的華山神納入秦之國祀與祀典，因而也可據玉版了解國祀如何形成。此篇同時討論秦惠文王其他方面的禮制改革。第六章是結論。

This thesis collects and analyzes research on King Huiwen of Qin’s jade prayer tablets. The first chapter serves as an introduction to the artifact and the thesis. The second and third chapters collect and analyze other scholars’ commentaries on the text. The fourth chapter offers a more detailed discussion of the identity of Yin of Qin (秦駰), the meaning of “the time of the Zhou Dynasty has already ended” (周世既沒), the identity of Jing (陘), and the meaning of the “royal house” (王室) as found on both the tablet and in Qin bamboo strips. I argue that Jing is a lesser spirit used by King Huiwen to communicate with the spirit of Mt. Hua, and that the meaning of “royal house” is similar to the usage of the term found in Qin bamboo strips. The fifth chapter discusses the tablet in the context of mountain worship, and argues that King Huiwen of Qin is trying to assimilate the spirit of the recently conquered Mt. Hua into Qin state religion, and that the tablet thus provides important information about one way in which state sacrifices were established. This chapter also discusses the other ritual reforms implemented by King Huiwen. The sixth chapter is a conclusion.
