- Title
郭店〈太一生水〉「(木甫)」的語文分析與思想義蘊.

- Abstract
This study considers the problematic character 木甫 that occurs in the Guodian 郭店 manuscript "Taiyi sheng shui" 太一生水. An analysis of this character's visual forms, textual variants and the contexts in which it appears, suggests that 楠simultaneously carries the meanings of the characters 薄 and 映 via the respective phonetic loan characters 甫 and 央. 薄 and 映 are in turn related to 搏 and 攖, which, via the phonetic gloss 毄, can be interpreted as 擊and 繫, a conceptual pair rooted in ancient cosmological thought with the parallel meanings “approach/draw near"and "intersect." Such usage is evident in "Taiyi sheng shui," and is further attested to by the expression 嬰薄 that occurs in the "Yao lüe" (要略An Overview of the Essentials) chapter of the "Huainanzi" 准南子, and by the expressions 感薄 and 擊命 that occur in Zhang Heng's 張衡 "Ling xian" (靈憲Spiritual Constitution of the Universe). In the course of the discussion, the character □ in the "Laozi B" manuscript from Guodian is also considered.
