ABSTRACT

ZhengZhuan(正篆) included in the ShuowenJiezi(說文解字) is written in Sound, and 49 of ZhengZhuan(正篆) quote the phrase of Confucian scriptures. In addition, Chinese Characters in the phrase use DuRuozi(讀若字). There are DuRuo(讀若), DuYu(讀與) and DuYouRuo(讀又若) in the phonetic language of these materials. The 經典 phrases quote 3 phrases in LunYu(論語), 20 phrases in ShiJing(詩經), 4 phrase in ShuJing (書經), 9 phrases in Yi(易), 9 phrases in ChunQiuZuoZhuan(春秋左傳), 1 phrase in ChunQiuGongYangZhuan(春秋公羊傳), 3 phrases in ErYa(爾雅). Quoting the Confucian scriptures phrase has the effects of limiting the sound of the DuoYinZi(多音字) and making the meaning more clearly. This emphasis great value of the academic achievements of the XuShen(許愼), who is one of the outstanding literary arts scholars at the time. In the DuRuoZi(讀若字) of the quoted construction, there are 20 Chinese characters with the same pronunciation and different shapes, 7 Chinese characters with the same pronunciation and the same shape, 1 JiaJieZi(假借字) with the same pronunciation, 19 Chinese characters of the same ShengFu(聲符), and 2 Chinese characters with similar pronunciation. From this, it can be seen that XuShen(許愼) attempted to express the pronunciation of Chinese Characters as clearly as possible by quoting the phrase of Confucian scriptures in the pronunciation of ShuowenJiezi(說文解字). Also, through the pron- unciation relationship between ZhengZhuan(正篆) and DuRuozi(讀若字), it is clearly shown that the basic function of ShuowenJiezi(說文解字) ‘DuRuo(讀若)’ is in the pronunciation notation.
