Title: The Explanation of Seven Characters and Words from Dunhuang Documents
Abstract: The Explanation of Douliu(逗留) in Dunhuang Documents is different in many scholars' work.It is more reasonable that Douliu(逗留) means reason after research done on Buddhist Documents.Zheng Bing-lin explains Biaomen(表门) as door of the grave or botanical garden in his Interpreting Dreams Document in Dunhuang Manuscripts,But it is more reasonable that Biao men(表门) means door having a function of praising someone from the context.Nobody has given the explanation to Wuyimianqiang(五翳面墙),Lanlin(阑恡),Enzejuan(恩泽绢) and Nvhui(女秽) in Dunhuang Documents.Wuyimianqiang(五翳面墙) is a self-effacing term..Lanlin(阑恡) means Stopping and not giving up.Enzejuan(恩泽绢) refers to the cloth donated to the temples.Nvhui(女秽) is a word used by women to call themselves.Gengti(绠缇) in Dunhuang Documents is difficult to understand.Gengt(绠) is a kind of ropes and Geng(缇) is red cloth,both of which are used to drive away the ghosts.
