How to find 540 seal radicals on the Internet

Fang network correspondent Shang Zhongyao said on December 27**: Following the "Small Seal Coding Scheme and Retrieval Method, Small Seal General Inspection" (hereinafter referred to as "Small Seal General Inspection"), a masterpiece condensed with the 30 years of painstaking efforts of ancient character researcher Wang Peilin, the first domestic tool book to check modern Chinese characters through the small seal, "Seal Inspection", was first released in Changshu, Jiangsu Province a few days ago. This study fills a gap in the search reference book of Qin Seal.

Professor Li Kai, doctoral supervisor of Nanjing University and an expert in paleographies, said: "The Interpretation of Doubts in the Examination of Seals has brought good news to researchers around the world who have studied ancient Chinese characters, especially Qin seals! ”

Published in 2001, "Xiao Seal Tongjian" is Wang Peilin's first monograph on the study of ancient Chinese characters, a total of 300,000 words, he through more than 10 years of research, for China's ancient Chinese characters Xiao Seal coding, so that ancient character lovers and users can use "Xiao Seal Tongjian" for the literal translation of seals. The official release of "Xiao Seal Tongjian" is that Wang Peilin has become the "first person to code" ancient Chinese characters (Qin seal) in China.

As a derivative of the "Small Seal General Inspection", the newly published "Inspection of the Seal and the Explanation of Doubts" has a total of 1.9 million words, including more than 10,000 characters of the ancient Chinese character Xiao Seal. (The Eastern Han Dynasty Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jie Zi" collected more than 9,000 small seals.) According to Wang Peilin, the small seal was the common script of the Qin Dynasty, which dates back more than 2,000 years.

During these long years, Chinese characters have undergone evolutionary processes such as subordination, italization, and simplification. Lishu and today's common italic characters in the shape, sound, meaning and the small seal are quite different, now the italic word "hazy, win, win, belly" with the same month, "to, ticket, sprinkle" with the West and so on, however, this kind of word translated as a small seal is not so. If you make a seal according to the Kai, it will be a laughing stock.

In the past, it was difficult to meet the needs of readers to search for seal characters.

According to reports, Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jie Zi" in the Eastern Han Dynasty was arranged with 540 seal radicals, which pioneered the arrangement system of Chinese characters. However, it is still very difficult to search for seal characters according to the radicals of small seals. Xu Xuan, a Song Dynasty philologist who was ordered to revise "Shuowen Jie Zi", once lamented that "the side is mysterious, unknowable, and seeking a word is often the end of the volume".

Modern people search for seal characters according to "Shuowen Jiezi", and the difficulty is even more conceivable. Later, the "Kangxi Dictionary", "Shuowen Dictionary", "Four-Body Dictionary", "Chinese Seal Book Dictionary", "Chinese Dictionary" and so on, although there are seal characters, but they do not have the function of "seeing the seal Suokai". The stroke retrieval or sequence retrieval can only help to translate the seal, but cannot meet the needs of the seal translation.

The advent of "Checking Seals and Explaining Doubts" solves the problem of learning and using Chinese characters, researchers of ancient Chinese characters, and lovers of seal script and seal carving. Li Kai said that Wang Peilin's research has filled the gap in the Qin seal retrieval reference book, and the value of "Checking the Seal and Explaining Doubts" is very great. Hu Shi once said that the significance of discovering an ancient word is actually no less important than astronomers discovering an asteroid in the sky.

It is reported that Wang Peilin is currently cooperating with Wu Wei, Shen Li, and others in compiling the "Seal Kai General Inspection", and in order to make the book as complete as possible, Wang Peilin issued a reward order: Anyone who finds that the orthography of the small seal in the Qin period has not been included in the "Interpretation of Doubts in the Seal Inspection" will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan per word.
