A study on ‘冓', ‘再', ‘爯' character
Abstract
In oracle(卜辭), ‘冓’ character was used to mean that ① Meet(遇), ② The name of the ritual(祭名), ③ A person's name(人名), ④ Tribal Country's(方國 : The oldest in the world higher than the tribe more stable, independent political entity) name ; ‘再’ character still do not know the meaning, did not interpret the meaning ; ‘爯’ character was used to mean that ① The name of the ritual(祭名), Sacrifices offered on the altar, ② 爯冊(It convey the king's commandment), ③ A person's name(人 名). In oracle's sentences, it is related to ancestral rites, name of the ritual, person, and inhabited place. So ‘冓’ character's under section can not explain basket form or earthenware. Therefore it is explained in terms of the ‘燎祭’(Liao sacrifice : One of the ancient ritual ; to burn such valuable things for worshipping heaven).
