A Preliminary Analysis of Rhymed Passages in the Daybook Manuscripts.

The daybook manuscripts are miscellanies in that they gather together a range of different forms of text onto a single manuscript carrier. This article focuses on passages of rhymed text, analyzing in particular the forms, patterns, and functions of the rhymes. On this basis, I provide a number of preliminary observations on the use and context of the daybook manuscripts. The article focuses on the use of rhyme in material from the Kongjiapo 孔家坡 and Shuihudi 睡虎地 daybook manuscripts in particular, while also paying attention to related hemerological, astrological, and divinatory material from Mawangdui 馬王堆 , Fangmatan 放馬灘 , and the Beida 北大 manuscripts among others. These materials have a penchant for using especially Yang -group 陽部 rhymes marking the (auspicious or otherwise) results of actions and divinations, in this regard they can be further compared to genres such as prayers and philosophical sayings for instance, raising the possibility of a shared discursive practice. 摘要: 《日書》作為雜抄彙集了不同類型的文本段落。本文從《日書》韻文段落入手，探討押韻在《日書》裏的類型、規律和功能。在此基礎上對《日書》的使用與閱讀習慣提出幾個初步想法。本文主要討論孔家坡和睡虎地《日書》，以及馬王堆、放馬灘、北大簡等日書、天文、卜筮等類文獻的用韻現象。這些文獻多使用陽部韻形成韻文, 恰好與祝文、哲学類話語等其他文獻一樣使用這類韻文討論吉凶問題。本文進而試圖闡發《日書》類文獻是否與不同類型文獻有所關聯，參與一個共同的話語 實踐。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
