Dynamic Connotation of the Component Elements of Ancient Books and "the Concept of Seeking the Original Meaning"in Science of Annotation
Ya Huang · Journal of The Northwest Normal University · 2002
The concept of seeking the original meaningin science of annotation is time honoured,and people accept it as the principle that does not need any proving,hence its wide application.But as a matter of fact,this is a misunderstanding,a typical example of using an ideal state to replace the actual one.The four cardinal elements of ancient codes and records,will invariably have to present themselves in a posture of dynamic distribution and in a process of constant change.Therefore,thoughthe concept of seeking the original meaningin science might do effectively,it is not qualified for the absolute truth.It is of itself a category that needs to be proved,and so when it is put to use,efforts should be made to examine and distinguish it so as to avoid making it so idealized that it affects the explanation of the meaning of ancient codes and records.
