摘要
简牍是中华早期文字书写与知识存续方式的文明结晶，是中华文化知识体系国际传播的概念表征。本文基于简牍物质性与文本性的互文关系，通过梳理“简牍”这一术语的指称概念，明确其内部子系统联结包括上下语义、概念外延关系等，从物质载体、文书制度、功能属性三个维度对“简牍”的十六种译名展开“名实契合度”评估，研究明晰了不同语境下的标准译名体系，旨在消解译名混杂所致的认知歧义与交流障碍，构建科学化、结构化的概念体系和知识系统，为简牍学术语的国际标准化实践提供学理支撑与操作范式。
关键词： 简牍文化；简牍；术语英译；名实契合度
Abstract
Bamboo slips and wooden tablets constitutes the civilizational product and epitome of early Chinese writing practices and knowledge custodianship, and serves as an emblematic concept underpinning the international dissemination of the Chinese cultural knowledge system. Proceeding from the intertextual reciprocity between the materiality and textuality of bamboo slips and wooden tablets, this paper elucidates the referential scope of the term “Jiandu” and delineates the internal subsystemic articulations it encompasses—including both vertical semantic relations (hyponymy and hypernymy) and horizontal conceptual extension relations. Adopting the three analytical dimensions of material carriers, documentary institutions, and functional attributes, the study undertakes a rigorous evaluation of the “nominal–referential congruence” across sixteen extant translations. On this basis, a standardized nomenclature regime tailored to distinct discursive contexts is established, with the aim of overcoming the cognitive ambiguities and barriers to informed discourse engendered by translational inconsistency and conflation. The study ultimately seeks to construct a scientifically robust and structurally coherent conceptual architecture and knowledge apparatus, thereby furnishing both theoretical substantiation and operational exemplification for the international standardization of the term of bamboo slips and wooden tablets.
Key words： The culture of bamboo slips and wooden tablets; Bamboo slips and wooden tablets; English translation of terminology; Nominal–referential congruence
