The Sketches of Song Dynasty provided abundant materials for analyzing common errors in character forms, such as Ouyang Xiu's Gui Tian Lu, Wu Zeng's Neng Gai Zhai Man Lu, Zhuang Jiyu's Ji Lei Bian, Luo Dajing's He Lin Yu Lu, Hong Mai's Rong Zhai Sui Bi, and Lu You's Lao Xue An Bi Ji. However, there was scant discussion on the study of character forms. Therefore, this paper focuses on character analysis, using the literary notes of the Song Dynasty as the object of observation. Among the literary notes of the Song Dynasty are, Sun Yi’s compiled six volumes of“Zi Shuo”in his book Lu Zhai Shi Er Bian. He gathered and categorized various opinions of literati on the different styles of characters commonly used at the time, and identified two misconceptions that arise from the recognition of characters, namely“pictorial misconceptions”and“phonetic misconceptions.”He further separated the character variants into“different characters with the same meaning,”“same characters with different meanings,”“different characters with the same sound,”and“same characters with different sounds.”The causes of these variants included similar strokes, confused sounds, borrowing usage from other characters, and the evolution of language over time. Sun's work provided valuable insights into the study of character forms and textual research in the analysis of character variants and examining the historical context. This paper aims to examine the connotations and types of character variants by analysis of character forms, and explore the character variants discussed by Sun Yi in his compilation of literary notes of the Song Dynasty. Through discussion on the concepts of character forms, this paper attempts to probe into the study of characters and inscriptions concerning the literary notes of the Song Dynasty. |
