with a Discussion of the Characteristics of the Use of Graphs in the Chu Slips

In this paper I am
going to discuss some characteristics of graphs in the Chu slips.
1. When
functions as the phonetic component of
,
,
, or
, in the graphs of the
Chu slips,
can
be read either as 鄰 lín
or 吝
lǐn
[lin2 or lin4]. In Strip 1 of “Kongzi shilun 孔子詩論”
the graph
of the phrase 詩亡
志,
can be explained as 吝,
meaning to preserve or to conceal.
2. The symbol “－”
or “=” that is added beneath the “
” portion of each graph
changing 文
to
, 貴
to
, and 見
to
or
, serves the function of
distinguishing the part of speech or of making a semantic distinction.
3. Adding “口”
or “=” to the graphs that changes 文 to
and 命 to
is definitely not a superfluous stroke nor an ornamental mark
but rather a distinguishing symbol of the part of speech or a semantic
distinction.
