摘要
元人周达观的《真腊风土记》,是研究古代东埔寨历史文化的重要著作,记载当地社会风情四十则。其中第十三则名为“正朔时序”,记其时东人行用的历法等内容。20世纪初,法人伯希和力图从印度梵文给予解释;20世纪中叶,另一法人戈岱司认为它们是“真腊历”法,而非中国历法;著名考古学家夏鼐先生也力图给予解释,但均未获正解。本文认为,《真腊风土记》所记以十月为年首,称作“嘉德”,闰九月,乃中国秦朝历法;其余建除十二客、往亡、归忌、十二生肖均源自中国,仅“七曜日”是西方文化的产物。
Zhenla Fengtuji written by Zhou Daguan of the Yuan Dynasty, including forty items on the local social customs,was an important work for the research of Cambodian historical culture.The thirteenth item in it lists the calendar prevailed in Cambodia at that time.In the early 20^(th)Century,P.Pelliot tried to offer an explanation on the calendar from the view of Indian Sanskirt.Several decades later,G. Coedes suggested it would be a native Cambodian one,not in Chinese tradition.Xia Nai,a famous archaeologist,also get involved in the research.Such attempts,however,seemed to be in failure.The present author conjectures that in Zhenla Fengtuji,the Cambodian custom taking October as the first month of a year was really a borrowing from the Qin Dynasty.Some taboos and the Twelve Zodiacs were also Chinese elements,with a single exception of the“seven luminaries”from the western world.
