“写本”、“钞(抄)本”等词是文献学、敦煌学及域外汉籍等相关研究领域的常用概念,但古今中外的学者对其使用范围的界定却并不一致,进而导致近来学界对“写本学”构建目标的认识也颇有差异。本文尝试对这两个概念的形成及其使用情况进行文献梳理,并对“写本时代”和“写本学”的相关研究略作回顾。 The terms “copybook”, “copybook” and “copybook” are commonly used concepts in the fields of philology, Dunhuang Studies and overseas Chinese and other related fields of research. However, scholars at all times and in all countries have not defined the scope of their use, Which led to the recent academic understanding of the goal of “writing study ” is quite different. This paper tries to sort out the formation of these two concepts and their usage, and reviews some related researches on “Writing Age ” and “Writing Theory ”.
