《上海博物館藏戰國楚竹書（八）》收有楚辭類作品〈桐頌〉一篇，內容極為重要。原整理者已經做了不少艱難的考釋工作，解決了相當多的問題，但是因為誤解了其中的一些文句，因而定名為〈李頌〉，內容的詮釋也還有一些重要關鍵未能解決。復旦吉大古文字專業研究生聯合讀書會對本篇做過校讀，其他學者也有一些研究，但仍然留下不少關鍵性的問題未能解決。本文在前人的基礎上，把〈桐頌〉全文仔細處理，要者如：肯定篇名為〈桐頌〉、「官樹」當讀為「館樹」，確定「昂其不還」、「深戾堅豎」、「寖毀損兮」、「素府宮李」等文句的釋讀，及通篇的考釋。最後肯定這是一篇重要的先秦楚賦，值得文學研究者給予應有的重視。
The ”Chu Bamboo Slips of the Warring States Collected by the Shanghai Museum (Vol. 8)” includes a ”Chu ci” (楚辭)-like work, ”Ode to the Phoenix Tree.” This poem is extremely important for researchers. One of the previous editors and compilers has endeavored to solve many philological problems. However, some of the critical sentences have been misinterpreted. Thus, he erroneously titled the poem ”Ode to the Plum.” There are also a number of misinterpretations of key terms. Researchers from a joint research project between Fudan and Jilin Universities and other scholars have also done some work on this, but some key issues are still left unresolved. In this paper, the title has been corrected to ”Ode to the Phoenix Tree.” Moreover, in analyzing the texts, I have reinterpreted the following phrases: guanshu (官樹), ang-qi-buhuan (昂其不還), shenli-jianshu (深戾堅豎), jin-huisun-xi (寖毀損兮), sufu-gongli (素府宮李). Given the significance of this pre-Qin Chu ode, it is worthwhile for literary researchers to give it appropriate attention.
