"The Interpretation of the Morphology of Chinese Characters" is a work of great academic value and documentary historical value in the study of Chinese philology. This manuscript was completed in the forties of the twentieth century, and is the work of the author Ding Yi (formerly known as Ye Dingyi) after seven years of hardship. This manuscript began when the author was studying Peiping Normal Taixue, learning the study of Chinese grammar under Qian Xuantong and Mr. Li Jinxi, with the intention of "compiling the oracle bones, gold, pottery, and seals into one compilation, exhausting its physical changes, and tracing its righteous teachings". The author then threw himself into the war, and the manuscript was scattered in the turbulent middle of the war. Fortunately, Mr. Zhu Guangqian invited him to Wuhan University in Leshan, Sichuan, and was able to "fully view the oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions in the collection of Wuhan University", and re-referenced the manuscripts, copied and transcribed. Later, he was hired by Mr. Li Jinxi to move west to the National Northwest Normal College in Lanzhou, which lasted ten months, and the whole book was completed. Mr. Lai Kam Hee was very impressed after reading it and immediately signed it. Due to the limited conditions that could not be printed, the author bound the 300,000-word manuscript, including 14 volumes of self-description, examples, table of contents and main text, into 6 volumes, which were only available for circulation. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the famous linguist Luo Changpei read the manuscript and fully affirmed it. Guo Moruo also had a high evaluation after reading it and wrote his name. Unfortunately, this manuscript could not be published due to typographical difficulties, and the author successively published simplified works such as "Chinese Characters" and "Chinese Characters and Chinese Society" based on this manuscript. The author also participated in initiating the establishment of the Chinese Character Reform Association and was elected as the first executive director. After that, the state sent the author to the Soviet Union to give a lecture, and unfortunately died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage in June 1954 at the age of 41, which is deplorable. Now, 70 years later, this manuscript has been published for the first time, which is not only a tribute to Mr. Ding Yi's commemoration and nostalgia, but also a tribute to this scholar who has made outstanding contributions to Chinese academic culture.(AI翻译)
