王家台秦简“易占”与殷易《归藏》

从秦简“易占”与《周易》相应之卦存在的不同卦名来看 ,前者与卦之象义的关系简单直观 ,后者与卦之象义的关系则复杂抽象 ,故秦简“易占”之卦名当即先于《周易》之卦名而存在的殷易《归藏》之卦名。秦简“易占”之占辞中存有与殷易时代不合之数条 ,但其余占辞显然绝非后世所能编造 ,当即殷易《归藏》所收夏商旧有的占筮记录之辞。秦简“易占”虽非殷易《归藏》之原貌和全貌 ,但大体为殷易《归藏》之内容。

On the connection between Gui Cang and Yi Zhan copied on the bamboo strips of the Qin dynasty excavated at Wang-jia-tai

By viewing the difference between the hexagrams' names in Yi Zhan copied on the bamboo strips of the Qin Dynasty excavated at Wang jia tai and those in Zhouyi , the hexagrams' name in the former is simply connected to its image and connotations and that in the latter is complicatedly connected to its image and connotations, we can see that the former are the hexagrams names' of Gui Cang (compiled in the Shang Dynasty), coming into being earlier than Zhouyi . Although a few divination items in Yi Zhan copied on the bamboo strips do not comply with the historical events happened in the Shang Dynasty, the other items, which obviously were not made up by later generations, ought to be divination records of the Xia and Shang dynasties included in Gui Cang . In spite of the fact that Yi Zhan copied on the bamboo strips is not the original and whole Gui Cang , its content is generally in accordance with that of Gui Cang.
