讀〈逨盤〉銘文瑣記

Three explanations of 〈逨盤〉

2003年1月19日，陝西眉縣楊家村出土窖藏西周銅器27件，其中〈逨盤〉銘文有373字（含合文1，重文12），是目前西周盤類銘文中篇幅最長者。盤銘內容豐富，其中既有金文第一次出現的語詞，也有一些語詞可以和舊有器銘相互發明。本文試就〈逨盤〉銘文中的「幽明厥心」、「粦明厥心」、「會詔」、「會」幾個語詞、文句，及全篇銘文的性質等幾個問題提出個人的看法。認為「幽」當訓為「深」，「幽明」在盤銘中不應當視為偏義詞。「粦明」或當即《詩經‧魯頌‧有贓》：「在公明明」之「明明」，為勤勉、黽勉之意。「會」及「會詔」中的「會」皆訓為「匹」，相當《楚辭‧離騷》：「湯禹嚴而求合兮」之「合」。全篇銘文從形式及內容的特點來看，可視為宗廟頌禱之詞的忠實記錄，其文體近於「頌」。

The cellar with 27 pieces of inscribed bronze vessels was discovered at Yangjiacun（楊家村），Meixian（眉縣），Shaanxi（陝西）in January 2003 .This discovery has become the focus of the paleographers 、historians and archeologists. There is a vessel called lai-pan（逨盤）which has 373 words in this discovery. It is the longest in the kind of pan（盤）in length, I will discuss about three points in this paper : first, to approach the meaning of「幽明厥心」and「粦 明厥心」；second, to approach the meaning of 「會詔康王」and「用會昭王、穆 王」；third, the gist of this inscription is to praise his ancestors in ancestral shrine, I deem it is similar to the section in The Book of Poetry（《詩經》的頌）in literary style。
