〈昭王毀室〉考釋四則

A Philological Study of Four Cases in“Zhao Wang Hui Shi”

本論文對《上海博物館藏戰國楚竹書（四）》〈昭王毀室〉提出四點考釋意見：其一，簡 1「既 之」讀為「既行，格之」，指楚王已出發且來到新建宮室所在地，「格」訓「來至」。其二，簡 1「曼廷」讀為「犯廷」，意即強行闖入中庭。其三，簡 2 和簡 4 的兩處「 」皆讀作「造寇」，解為「作亂」、「為亂」之意。其四，簡 5「至俑毀室」或可讀作「挃墉毀室」，即「打掉牆、拆毀宮室」，「挃」訓「撞擊」。

his article provides explanations of troublesome and hard-to-identify words and phrases in “Zhao-wang Hui Shi” （in Chu Bamboo Slips of the Warring States Period Collected in Shanghai Museum, vol.7）. First, the phrase “Ji Xing Ge Zhi （既 之）” on slip number 1 should be read as “Ji Xing, Ge Zhi （既行,格之）”, meaning the king had set out and reached the palace. The character “Ge （格）” means “arrive” . Second, the phrase “Man Ting （曼廷）” on slip number 1 should be read as “Fan Ting （犯廷）”, which means “broke into the atrium”. Third, the phrase “Zhao Kou （ ）” on slip number 2 and slip number 4 should be read as “Zao Kou （造寇）” ,and means “cause riots”. And lastly, the phrase “Zhi Yong Hui Shi （至俑毀室）” on slip number 5 can be read as “Zhi Yong Hui Shi （挃墉毀室）” which means “tear down walls and demolish the palace.”.
