≪殷虛文字丙編≫012∼023譯註

Abstract

In this thesis, by witnessing and examining real objects, 012-023 of Fascicle Three of Inscriptions from the Yin Ruins(≪殷虛文字丙編≫), with the Binzubuci(賓組卜辭) of YH127 in Yin Ruins, are arranged as completely as possible for the use of scholars to study and review. It is recorded that the king made a point on whether to unite with Wangcheng(望乘) or not to form a coalition with Xiawei(下危), and that he predicted a coalition with Zhige(沚). And the fact that he pointed out which ancestral god was responsible for the disease in the king’s teeth suggests that he also made a point to choose a priest. Also, five times in total, five times the same content, shows that the problem of war and union was very important. Bingbian(≪丙編≫)022-023 also appears to be equivalent to Chengtaobuci(成套卜辭), while no other links have been found. Based on Bingbian(≪丙編≫)012-021 and Ganzhi(干支) (乙卯, 丁巳, 庚申, 辛酉), the issue of chastising Bafang(巴方) in Bingbian(≪丙編≫)022–023, the building of Bin(賓), and imperial inspection tour of area Chu(出) is different in that closely related and specific issues.
