碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 國文教學碩士在職專班 === 100 === It has been a while since “Shuihudi Bamboo Slips -- Rishu” was excavated in the year 1975. Compared with other copies of “Rishu”, it is more complete and is the subject of scholarly discussion and literature. This study uses a different approach -- that of cultural anthropology, archeology, philology, religion and folklore -- to compare, contrast and interpret the archaeological data and historical documents, as well as to explore the spirits and deities, and witchcraft activities, in “Shuihudi Bamboo Slips – Rishu” through the word usage and context. Finally, the study helps to analyze the Qins’ belief and thinking in witchcraft, and attempts to trace the history of witchcraft culture based on the evolution of witchcraft activities from the Shang and Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty.
