Abstract

The rejoining of oracle bone inscriptions is the basic work of the study, which has achieved remarkable success in the past 120 years. In recent years, there have been a number of influential works published on its progress, calling our attention to its importance. This article reviews the history of the rejoining of oracle bones and, by drawing on the author’s own experience, discusses the following three aspects: (1) In the aspect of “history,” define the earliest rejoining effort from different perspectives, divide the work into various stages, and discuss the characteristics of each stage and the trend of development; (2) Describe the rejoining methods in three areas and try to define certain characteristics of oracle bone restoration; (3) Specifically and critically look forward to the future of the rejoining work and advocate that it should evolve into a comprehensive integrated study of all relevant materials, emphasizing the importance of sorting and grouping. The article concludes that scientific and technological means should be introduced and given real effect and that the use of the results of the rejoining should continue to be promoted by a variety of means.

摘要

重新加入甲骨文是这项研究的基础工作，在过去的120年中取得了显著成就。近年来，有许多关于其进展的有影响力的著作发表，呼吁我们注意其重要性。本文回顾了甲骨文重新加入的历史，并根据作者自身的经验，讨论了以下三个方面：（1）在“历史”方面，从不同角度定义最早的重新加入工作，划分工作进入各个阶段，并讨论每个阶段的特征和发展趋势；（2）描述三个区域的再结合方法，并试图确定甲骨修复的某些特征；（3）特别和批判性地期待重组工作的未来，并主张它将发展成为对所有相关材料的全面综合研究，强调分类和分组的重要性。该文章的结论是，应引入科学技术手段并使其具有实际效果，并应通过各种手段继续促进重新加入结果的使用。
