Abstract

Today the "trade week" for the Eastern Han Fei Wang Bi by direct transmission of the classical trade. The examination of the bamboo, this is similar to the general and Takemoto, In order to prove this is indeed the classical trade today this is no doubt. The silk of the "Week transactions" should be preaching the kingdom of what Tien New Text "transactions" in this. There are two reasons: First, from the time of speaking, by the mass of silk this time should be copied before the Emperor or the Emperor, the basic definition of Lu in the emperor to power after more than twenty years, the mass trade in line with the early Han Dynasty, "where the Yutian one, "the historical records. Second, from an academic point of view, ownership, silk "transactions" to "good" generation "stare" to "gifts" on behalf of the "fulfillment" as Guaming, apparently by "Xu Gua" "stare who is also good," "fulfill those , gifts also "the impact of what this field with a series of the early Han Dynasty," Exegesis give great friendship, "the style of study is also very similar. New Text field where the transfer "transactions" in this, including "this meaning" and "ancient meaning" two-pronged, "this meaning" refers to the "moral conduct", "selflessness" talk about "transactions" content, "the ancient meaning of" means Zhanshi and the contents of yin and yang disaster. Silk scriptures hexagram sequence and Jing Fang "Easy" Eight Palace hexagram sequence of close relationship, and the silk of the "Easy transfer" in the large amount of yin and yang, five out regardless of Confucius, Zhan Shi Mengzhao language sentences,都Mawangdui silk In order to reflect the "Exchange "historical records may be held as set out in Tianhe Di Sun-child weeks" ancient meaning "of the private copies of this. The received version of Zhouyi is inconsistent with the version revised by Wang Bi, who adopted Fei Zhi's ancient-character version of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Drawing reference from the bamboo slips manuscript Zhouyi, we can see that the content of the received version is generally similar to the bamboo slips one, doubtlessly demonstrating that the received version belongs to the Zhouyi in ancient characters and the Mawangdui silk manuscript should belong to then the new-character version transmitted by Tian He in the beginning of the Western Han . There are two reasons for this conclusion. One is that, the time when the silk manuscript was transcribed should be during or before the reign of Emperor Wen and can be basically limited to the over 20 years from the reigns of Emperor Gao to Queen Lü , conforming to the historical records that the transmission of the Yi "originated singly from Tian He"; The other is that, by the academic attribution, the hexagrams' names are evidently affected by the interpretations of the names in the Orderly Sequences of the Hexagrams , being similar to Tian He's academic style. The Text of the new-character Zhouyi transmitted by Tian He includes two aspects of "new connotations" and "ancient connotations", the former involve in "virtues" and " benevolence & righteousness ", the latter in divination. The correlation between the arrangement of the hexagrams 'order by Jing Fang and that in the silk manuscript, the large number of Confucius' remarks on Yin-yang, Five-element, and divination in the Commentaries on Yi copied on silk unearthed reflect that the silk manuscript Zhouyi was probably a transcription from the Text of "ancient connotations" handed down by Zhou Wangsun, one of Tian He's disciples
