APrimary Study of Possibilities of Chinese Modern Language History Studies through Ancient Xi xia Letters

《梵汉河史章周注》是一部以Xi夏文字写成的原始资料。在这个研究项目中，我扩展了材料的索引，并对词汇进行了翻译。在此过程中，笔者提出了一个假设，即《章周注》后半部分是在索引中书写和建构的。另外，关于《杂集》，笔者还考察了《杂集》中的几种材料，以及Xi夏文字中的一些材料。在这个过程中，笔者得出结论：Xi Xia材料有一个鲜明的特点，即姓氏在开头，这与其他汉语材料有很大的不同。笔者还利用新近发现的旧《老乞大》，将现代汉语文字与Xi夏文字进行了比较，从而发现了《刘知远诸宫调》等现代汉语文字与Xi夏文字的共同点。通过这三年的研究，我强烈地意识到，Xi夏书信需要更深入地研究和理解，以便这一学术领域得到进一步的发展。可见，Xi书简研究是一个亟待深入研究的课题。为了对这一研究有所贡献，我已经完成了《Xi文子》基本300字简编和《Xi文子》藏书指南，待出版。此外，我手头还有一些未发表的文章和在会议上发表的简历，我希望这些文章和简历在不久的将来能得到进一步发展并出版成书。还应该指出的是，我参加了2000年6月在筑波大学举行的“通过西域和非韩文化在中国的中国文化的援助”，并解释了关于Xi xia字母的民族志研究结果。

Fan-Han Heshi Zhangzhougzhu is a primary material written in Xi xia letters. In this research project, I expanded the indexes of the material and made translations of the vocabularies. In this process, I have reached to a hypothesis that the latter part of Zhangzhougzhu was written and constructed in the indexes. In addition, as for Zaji, I investigated several materials written in Zaji as well as ones written in Xi xia letters. In this process, I have come to a conclusion that in Xi xia materials have a distinct character which sets surnames at the beginning, being very different from other Chinese materials. I also used the recently discovered old Laoqida in order to make a comparison between modern Chinese letters and Xi xia letters, resulting in finding a commonality between Chinese modern language such as in Liu Zhiyuan Zhugongdiao and Xi xia letters. Through this 3-year research, I have strongly realized that the Xi xia letters are needed to be studied and understood more thoroughly so that this academic field would be further developed by future scholars. It is obvious that studies on Xi xia letters are in need of urgent research and studies. To contribute to this study, I have produced a brief abstract of Basic 300 letters in Xi xia Wenzi and also a guide book of Xi xia Wenzi collection , waiting to be published. In addition, I have unpublished articles and resumes presented in conferences at hand, which, I am hoping, would be further developed and published as a book in the near future. It should be also noted that I attended Assiation of Chineie Cuture Wha was taken in China through Xiyu and Fei-Han Culeure (held at the University of Tsukuba in June of 2000) and explained ethnographic findings about Xi xia letters as a panelist.
