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

《泛汉河史漳州记》是西夏书信的原始材料。在这个研究项目中，我扩充了材料的索引，并翻译了词汇。在这个过程中，我得出了一个假设，即漳州渚的后半部分是在索引中书写和构建的。另外，关于杂集，我调查了几份杂集的资料和西夏书信的资料。在这个过程中，我得出了一个结论，西夏材料有一个鲜明的特点，就是一开始就设置姓氏，这与其他中国材料有很大的不同。我还使用了最近发现的《老七大》，对现代汉语字母和西夏字母进行了比较，发现了刘致远《诸宫调》和西夏字母等中国现代语言的共性。通过这3年的研究，我强烈地意识到西夏书信需要更深入的研究和理解，以便未来的学者进一步发展这一学术领域。可见，对西夏书信的研究是一个亟待研究的课题。为了对这项研究有所贡献，我已经编写了《西夏文字基本300封信》的摘要和《西夏文字收藏指南》，等待出版。此外，我手头还有未发表的文章和在会议上展示的简历，我希望在不久的将来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“中国文化研讨会”，该研讨会通过西语和非汉文化在中国举办，并作为小组成员解释了关于西夏书信的民族志发现。

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 In addition, I have unpublished articles and resumes presented in conferences at hand, which, I am hoping, would be further developed and published as a book in the near future.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.
