「A preliminary Study on the Tangut “𘄴𘏲𗏹𘈧𗦻𘙰𗏇𘉅”(Essential Selection of the
Often-Transmitted Homonyms and Mixed Characters)」（西夏語文献《択要常伝同
名雑字》に関する研究）
吳國聖（国立清華大学歴史研究所）

The study plans to reconstruct the philological details in the newly unearthed Tangut book
"Essential Selection of the Often-Transmitted Homonyms and Mixed Characters." To compare
the entries in the section "Homonym" with the relevant Tangut sources, such as the
"Homophones" and "Sea of Writing" etc., to cross-check with the phonological clues
between the lines, and try to trace back its compilation process. This project aims to sort
out the Tangut radicals/ character-building components, example characters, and their
cursive writings in the book, to compare with the corresponding running-hand examples
in other Tangut documents, so as to find out the rules how the Tangut people wrote their
cursive characters, and if there is any difference of writing styles among the scribes
