楚简文献是《汉语大字典》修订时应该注重收录的材料,但也应有所选择。当收者:具有补缺意义的楚简字形,非表专名的常见义项及能够提前义项始见时间的例证等;当舍者:已收列其他同形战国文字的字形,考释尚无定论的新见字及表示人名、地名等特殊专名的义项等。
Chu bamboo slips should be of proper use in the revision of the Grand Chinese Dictionary. We should absorb the shapes of Chinese characters that make up the meaning gap, the familiar meanings to denote proper nouns and the examples that could advance the era of the meanings that appeared for the first time, etc.. We should reject the shapes of Chinese characters which have been absorbed in the other shapes of Chinese characters of the warring states period, the new Chinese characters that still have not formed a consensus in meaning and the meanings to denote special proper nouns, etc..
