Title: The Character "BIN" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions
Abstract: The character 涉 often occurs in oracle bone inscriptions.It seems that a person's two feet are on both sides of the river respectively.This indicates that this person is crossing the river.But in 《Jiaquwen Bian》 the character 涉 has three entries which look different from 涉.This character should be 濒.In fact,濒and 频 are brothers and they evolved from the same character.An analysis of 濒 finds that 濒子 is supposed to be 卑子 which is the frequently used 小字 in bronze ware writings.
