花東婦好傳

The Biographies of Fu Hao in Oracles Excavated in East Side of Hua-yuan Site

本論文應用新出土的殷墟花園莊東地甲骨，對比過去所見的殷王武丁卜辭，排比出武丁配偶婦好的一生活動。花東甲骨屬於武丁早期的非王卜辭，其中的婦好是代表花東子所記載的年輕婦好事蹟，相對的《甲骨文全集》中所收錄的婦好，則是王室所記載的中年婦好。兩兩相對系聯，我們可以歸納出三千多年前中國第一位歷史女性完整的生平事蹟。王國維先生當年所提出的二重證據法，不但應用於文獻與地下材料的對比，也可以拓充在地下材料與地下材料之間的互較。本文有關婦好的研究，正好提供拓大二重證據法的一具體實例。

Using the new documents obtained from the oracles excavated in the east side of the Hua-yuan site, this article attempts to combine it with the scripts found in Wu Ting oracles bones to delineate the life story of Fu Hao. What we find in the Huan-yuan site is not related to royal endeavor, and Fu Hao therein is in her youth, whereas the Fu Hao found in Complete Collection of Oracle Scripts is in her middle age living in royal house. Combined those two together we might be able to delineate a complete picture of a historical woman three thousand years ago. The “double-evidence methodology” of Wang Guowei, in this case, is applied not only to documents and underground excavations, it can also be applied to include the interrelations between dug-ups. This study of the two Fu Haos thus expands the application of what Wang Guowei has already established.
