阅读古代文献,常会发生这样一些情况:有些语句似乎理解了,其实却是误解;有些词语非常熟悉,根据上下文和情理,却无法讲通。这是因为不少的古语词与当时社会生活的礼仪制度风俗习惯关系密切,如果不熟悉古代社会生活的相关礼俗,这种惑乱就会不时出现。笔者谨将古代车乘礼制与语词训释的管窥一得,献诸同好,或可有所裨益。 Reading ancient documents often happens when some sentences appear to be understood, but in fact they are misunderstood. Some words are very familiar and can not be explained according to context and reason. This is because quite a few ancient words are closely related to the customs of the etiquette system of the social life at that time. If we are not familiar with the customs and practices of ancient social life, such confusion will occur from time to time. I would like to give a glimpse of ancient car rituals and word explanation, offer same, or may be useful.
