南阳遗址与“燕文公徙易”考

Study on the Nanyang Site and“Yanwen Duke moving capital to Yi”

自“召公封燕”至公元前222年秦人灭燕,燕国存世800余年,其间几易都城,与之相关的燕国都城变迁尚有争议。其中关于“桓侯徙临易”“燕文公徙易”和燕都“临易”“易”这一史实众说纷纭。资料和研究表明,南阳遗址兴盛于战国中晚期,其时代、地望、规格和燕文公徙易之“易”均相吻合,应即燕文公徙易之“易”。燕文公徙易的历史背景既有合纵的需要,也是构建对齐、赵、中山诸国军事防御体系的需要。

From Zhao Gong Feng Yan to Qin army’s extermination of Yan(222B.C.),Yan State lasted more than 800 years,during which,Yan State moved its capital city multiple times.Throughout history,opinions have been widely divided for whether Yi City was the Yi of Marquis Huan’s moving capital to Linyi,or Yanwen Duke’s moving capital to Yi or Yi being the capital of Yan.Data and research show that Nanyang Site was flourishing during middle and late Warring States Period and its era and geographical position and specifications all coincided with Yi of Yanwen Duke’s moving capital to Yi,so Nanyang Site should be the Yi of Yanwen Duke’s moving capital to Yi.The historical background of Yanwen Duke’s moving capital to Yi was not only the need of Joint Coalition Policy but also the need of building Military Defense System against Qi State,Zhao State and Zhongshan State.
