摘　　要：简牍作为书写的物质载体,具有不容忽视的物质性。这种物质性不仅与简牍记录的文字密切相关,而且能独立传达文字不具备的信息。因此,简牍的价值绝不仅限于文字,其物质性方面的信息也值得高度重视。重视简牍的物质性,形而下来说,可充分挖掘和提取简牍传达的信息;形而上来说,则可在文化史和社会史的视野下,深入阐释简牍的物质文化意涵。本文以此为基点,围绕简牍的生产与制作、形态与形制、使用与阅读、废弃与埋藏以及简纸更替五个方面进行了梳理和反思,倡导将简牍视为考古遗物,融合历史学、考古学、文书学、写本学等多学科领域的视角、方法和问题意识,对之开展物质性方面的研究。As a material carrier of writing,bamboo slips possess a materiality that cannot be overlooked.This materiality is not only closely related to the text recorded on the bamboo slips but can also independently convey information that the text does not contain.Therefore,the value of bamboo slips extends beyond their textual content;their material information deserves significant attention.Focusing on the materiality of bamboo slips allows for a comprehensive exploration and extraction of the information they convey from a physical perspective.From a metaphysical standpoint,it enables a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of bamboo slips within the contexts of cultural history and social history.Based on this premise,this article examines and reflects on five aspects:the production and crafting of bamboo slips,their appearance and form,their use and reading practices,their abandonment and burial,and the transition from bamboo slips to paper.This paper advocates for treating bamboo slips as archaeological relics deserving study through various perspectives,methods,and problem consciousness drawn from history,archaeology,philology,sketching techniques,and related fields.
