竹簡帛書出土文獻電腦資料庫

計劃簡介

　　1994年，香港中文大學中國文化研究所獲得「研究資助局」撥款，選取包括古代典籍、公文、律令、書信等出土簡帛文獻約二十萬字輸入電腦，以作為未來建立一完整之「竹簡、帛書出土文獻電腦資料庫」試驗計劃。由於建庫工作進度遠較預期理想，結果於1996年計劃期滿時，已發表之十二種竹簡帛書出土文獻，合共約一百四十萬字已悉數輸入電腦。

資料庫特色

採用北京文物出版社提供之釋文。
經研究人員重新標點、校勘，凡經校改之處，均加上校改符號，以建立原始文獻資料
庫。
在視窗系統上，可以同時顯示簡帛圖片和對照釋文。
選擇特定的圖片部份時，系統會自動將相關釋文對應顯示，方便研究。
提供便捷的檢索程式，可以單字、字串及句式檢索文獻，檢索結果可直接列印或存檔，以便重複查閱。

A Computerized Database of the Excavated Wood/Bamboo and Silk Scripts

Project Summary

　　The project, started in 1994, was originally conceived as a pilot study supported by the Research Grant Council in Hong Kong. The aim was to build up a trial database of 0.2M characters. However, the progress was far more satisfactory than expected and by 1996, a database of the entire corpus of all published Jianbo texts, approximately 1.4 million characters in size, had already been completed.

Special Features

With interpretation scripts provided by the Cultural Relics Publishing House of Beijing.
Punctuation and textual notes are added. All emendations are clearly marked so as to allow readers to restore the original texts.
Scanned images of original texts can be viewed juxtaposed with the interpretation in standardized characters.
Relevant parts of the interpretation script will be highlighted when a designated scanned image is clicked.
Search functions allow searches for a single character, a phrase, or a specific sentence structure, and the results can be sent to a printer or a file for ready reference.
