血缘与地缘:殷墟西区墓地制度再研究

Blood and Geography:A Study of the Cemetery System in the Western District of Yinxu

本文在讨论墓地分区方法、筛别可供研究的葬俗的基础上,对殷墟西区的墓地制度,特别是"族墓地"的问题进行探讨。发现存在小范围族墓地、不同族群聚集的现象,表明在社会较低层次、较低等级的单位中,地缘关系可能有着更大范围的存在与认同,商周时期血缘与地缘的关系或许相当复杂。

This paper discusses the cemetery system in the west district of Yinxu,especially the"ethnic cemetery"on the basis of discussing the method of cemetery zoning and screening the funeral customs available for research.It is found that there are small-scale cemeteries and the aggregation of different ethnic groups,which indicates that in the lower-level units of the society,the geographical relationship may have a greater existence and identity.The relationship between blood and geography may be quite complicated during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
