摘　　要：此文对甲骨文“辛”字，不同意郭沫若的解释，认为不是黥刀，而是用以剖劈巨木的工具。有新（薪）、析、辟、辨等字可证。引申为刑、法等义，如“大辟”的辟，“辜磔”的辜，也都与剖劈之义有关。比释为黥刀来引申字义更顺理成章。The paper gives an explanation for the word ＂xin＂ in oracle inscription, which is ditterent from Guo Moruo＇s idea. Points out that it does not refers to ＂Jingdao＂ a tiny knife to mark a criminal on the face, it should be a tool used to chop wood, and this thesis could be borne out by ＂Xin＂, ＂Pi＂, ＂Bian＂. Then extends to the meaning of punishment and law etc. for example, ＂Pi＂ in ＂dapi＂ （behead a person） ＂Gu＂ in ＂Gujie＂ （dismember） also related to ＂chop＂ and so on. So this explanation is more reasonable than Guo Moruo＇s idea.
