王念孫《釋大》之成書、體例及其相關問題新探

Abstract

有清一代之訓詁學，高郵二王（王念孫、王引之）之成就最為卓著，代表作《廣雅疏證》、《讀書雜志》、《經傳釋詞》、《經義述聞》享譽學界，傳頌已久，探論、引用者尤眾，不言可喻。除此之外，王念孫《釋大》當為最要之作品，然歷來討論此書之相關問題，多集中於同源詞之研究，於此書體例之相關問題，卻付之闕如。本文以《釋大》為研究對象，針對此書之版本、卷數、成書、按語作者與體例等相關問題，深入切實考論其書之體例具體樣況，務使本書之重要問題，得到釐清。

In the field of Critical Interpretation of Ancient Texts, the two Wangs from Gaoyou, Wang Nian-sun, and Wang Yin-zhi are distinguished for their achievements, whose Guang Ya Shu Zhen, Du Shu Za Zhi, Jing Chuan Shi Ci, and Jing Yi Shu Wen have been renowned and constantly praised in the academics. It speaks for itself that these books have been widely probed and cited by many scholars. In addition to this, as the most important work, Wang Nian-sun’s Shi Da has been studied for tongyuan ci in the book. Its compiling and other related questions, however, have been neglected. This paper takes Shi Da as research object, aiming at clarifying the important questions related to this book by studying its edition, compilation, compiling style and otes on the vocabularies, and the author’s ideas of writing this book.
