摘　　要：本文通过考察出土文献中的“[羊牛]”及相关诸字,认为“[羊牛]”应分析为从牛、羊声,甲骨文专用于记录赤色牛,后引申出赤色义。“[羊牛]”“辛”二字读音上并无必然联系,而是字形上的相混而导致的误定声符。据此,我们认为中山王鼎“■道”可读为“养导”。Through examining"[羊牛]"and related characters in uncarthed docurments,this paper holdsthat"[羊牛]"should be analyzed as significative symbol niu(牛)and phonetic symbol yang(羊).Oracle Bone Inscriptions are used t0 record red cattle.Then the meaning of red is derived.There is no neoessary connection between the pronunciation of"■"and xin(辛).The misidentification of phonics caused hy the confusion of glyphs between"■"and xin(辛).According to this,we think that the"■dao(道)"of Zhongshan King Ding can be read as yangdao(养导).
