摘　　要：《赤壁赋》中“山川相缪”之“缪”,当代选文大都注释为“缭”的通假字,读音或注为“liáo”,或注为“liǎo”。考察古代诗、词、赋等作品中,“相缪”之“缪”处于韵脚位置时,所押为中古平水韵中的尤韵,“缭”则属萧韵,二韵不能通押。早在先秦文献中,已经有用“缪”来表示“樛”的绞结、盘绕之义,古书注解亦多有说明,且两字在不同的文献中屡见异文。由此可知,“缪”应是“樛”的通假字,中古音反切“居虬切”,今音当读为“jiū”。The character“缪”in the phrase“山川相缪”(mountains and rivers are surrounding each other)in Red Cliff Fu(《赤壁赋》),has been annotated by most contemporary anthologies as the generic character for“缭”.Some pronunciations are marked as“liáo”and some are marked as“liǎo”.When investigating ancient poems and other works,it is found that when“缪”in the phrase“相缪”appears in a rhyme position,it aligns with the“尤”rhyme in the Middle Chinese Ping Shui Yun,while“缭”belongs to the“萧”rhyme,and these two rhymes cannot be used interchangeably in terms of rhyme scheme and sound.As early as in the pre-Qin literature,“缪”has been used to mean the meaning of twisting and coiling of“樛”.There are also many explanations in ancient book annotations,and variations of these two characters can be found in diff erent literary sources.It can be seen that,“缪”should be the generic character for“樛”with its middle Chinese pronunciation being“居虬切”,and its modern pronunciation should be pronounced as“jiū”.
