摘要
中美洲奥尔梅克文化中的几枚玉片刻纹被一些学者辨识为中国甲骨文及金文。在研究中发现,这些刻纹实际上是一幅完整图像被破坏后的残余部分,并非文字符号,更非中国文字。这些残余刻纹仍然保留着和传统图画一脉相承的特征,据此可以说明它们本来的图画面貌。辨识者用来佐证的一些散布于中、南美洲的"符号"也存在偶然性强、不成系统等研究方法问题。因此,"奥尔梅克刻纹为中国文字"一案不能成立。
Some Olmec jade carving marks found in Mesoamerica are identified by a few scholars as Chinese oracle-bone and bronze inscriptions.The author of this paper finds that the carved marks are actually incomplete remains of an original picture,not writing symbols,nor Chinese Writing.The fragmentary remains still carry identifiable parts and can be traced with Olmec conventional iconographical images.The identification of other scattered signs from Central and South Americas has also methodological problems of being coincidental and lack of systematic organization.Therefore,the case of the Chinese identification of the Olmec marks cannot be established.
