河南南阳李八庙春秋楚墓清理简报

Excavation of a Tomb of the State of Chu from the Spring and Autumn Period in Libamiao, Nanyang, Henan

2004年,在河南南阳市李八庙发现了一座春秋中晚期墓。此墓为小型竖穴土坑墓,出土了一批铜器,其中铜礼器有7件,包括鼎、浴缶、甗、盘、匝和盏。铜鼎M1:1上的铭文自称"番子",发掘者推测"番子"并非此墓的主人,应是番国的国君,墓主人是楚国贵族。此鼎可能是番国国君赠予墓主人的礼物,也可能是战利品。番子鼎的发现为研究古代番国的历史和地理位置提供了重要的实物资料。

In the year 2004, archaeologists excavated a tomb of the state of Chu from the middle to late Spring and Autumn period in Libamiao, Nanyang City. It was a small-scale rectangular vertical-pit tomb. There were some bronze objects unearthed, including 20 weapons and 7 ritual bronzes of various types, including Ding, Yan, Yi, and so on. In the inscription on the Ding M1 ∶ 1, its owner called himself 'Fan Zi'. Archaeologists suggest that 'Fan Zi' was not the occupant of the tomb, but the king of the Fan state. The occupant may have been a noble of Chu. This Ding may have been a present from the king of Fan, or the spoils of war. Discovery of the Fan Zi Ding provides important material for the study of the history and geographical position of the ancient Fan state.
