At present, Characters Collection in Chu Area（《楚文字編》） (called CWZB in later content) is not only just an important ancient writing dictionary, but also a high-level academic bookmaking because of its appropriate stylistic rules and layout，abundant contents and easiness to use. However, any academic achievements have historical limitations. After CWZB came out, it had been revealed a lot of defects from the perspective of current situation and the status of unearthed study of Chu literature. The main disadvantage is missing graphemes from Bamboo Manuscripts Deposited in Shanghai Museum (《上海博物館藏戰國楚竹書》 (called SBJ in later context)). SBJ is the most important written material after Bamboo slips from Guodian Tomb（《郭店楚墓竹簡》）. SBJ is published in succession since 2001.The total number of characters are up to 20000.Obviously overall presents about Characters collection in Chu area will not be intact if Characters from SBJ are not embodied. We concluded about 900 newly-supplemented characters with SBJ making up CWZB. Those newly-supplemented Characters show the following research significances: 1) bringing forward existence of some Characters; 2) enriching meanings of some characters with the reference of new manusciptionmanuscripts; 3) amending some errors in CWZB with the reference of newly-supplement Characters; 4) numerous newly-supplemented characters show their corresponding relations between themselves in Chu area.

摘要：李守奎《楚文字编》（以下简称《李编》）体例妥善，内容丰富，使用便利，是一部重要的古文字工具书，也是高水平的学术著作。然而，任何学术成果都会有历史局限，《李编》问世后，从目前的出土楚文献的资料现状和研究现状来看，已经显露出不少缺陷。其中最大的一项，就是缺漏了《上海博物馆藏战国楚竹书》(以下简称《上博》)的字形材料。《上博》简是继《郭店》简之后最重要的一批楚简文字材料，从2001年起陆续出版，文献总字数达20000余字，缺漏这样一批材料的楚简文字编无疑将失去应有的完整性。《上海博物馆藏战国楚竹书》中未见于《李编》的新字达900余个，它们与《李编》相配合，更完整地揭示了战国楚简的字符集。新补字将一些通用汉字的出现时间大大提前；它们的一些新见用法丰富了其字义系统；有的新补字形有助于纠正过去的某些楚文字误释；大量新补字形更充分地显示了战国楚方域内的一些特殊字词对应关系。
