周原卜甲与《周易·蛊卦》

1976—1977年,陕西周原出土带字卜甲190多片,其中有6片刻有用六个数字组成的易卦。经考定,数字卦用阴爻一、阳爻一表示,则在《周易》中有相对应的卦。其中周原85号卜甲刻有数字卦及卦辞,其数字卦与《周易·蛊卦》相对应。本文进一步考证,其卦辞也与《周易·蛊卦》初六爻辞“厉终吉”相合。又,周原9号卜甲有卜辞“大出于川”,可考与《周易·蛊卦》卦辞“元亨,利涉大川”为同一件事。在结合周原卜甲及其它典籍相互参证的基础上,本文对《周易·蛊卦》卦辞爻辞进行新的诠释,并对相关的商周史事进行考述。

Oracular shells excavated at Zhouyuan and the hexagram of Gu in Zhouyi

From 1976 to 1977, over 190 pieces of oracular shells inscribed were excavated at Zhouyan, Shaanxi Province. 6 of them were carved with Yi hexagrams composed of six numerical figures. By textual research, it has been verified that, if the figure-hexagrams are illustrated with lines of Yin - - and Yang-, we can find the hexagrams corresponding to them in Zhouyi. For instance, the figure-hexagram affiliated with oracular words on No. 85 oracular shell corresponds to the hexagram of Gu in Zhouyi, In addition, the paper further verifies that its affiliated words also coincide with the affiliated words "perilous, but there will be good fortune in the end" to the initial line of the hexagram of Gu. Moreover, the words "crossing the great stream" on No. 9 oracular shell described the same events with the words "great progress and success, there will be advantage in crossing the great stream" affiliated to the hexagram of Gu. On the basis of both Zhouyuan oracular shells and other classical books, this paper makes a new interpretation of the affiliated words to the hexagram and lines of Gu, and elucidates the related history of the Shang and Zhouyi dynasties.
