出土先秦南阳独山玉研究

Research on Unearthed Pre-Qin Dushan Jade Wares of Nanyang

南阳独山玉作为一个重要玉种,其开发利用已有7000年的历史,曾一度在我国古代政治文化生活中扮演重要角色。从考古角度看,目前对南阳独山玉自春秋战国后衰落这一现象未有相关研究及有力解释。文章梳理了文献关于南阳独山玉的记载,结合已发掘出土的先秦南阳独山玉情况,从玉文化发展和“玉德论”演变的角度,考证独山玉因何自春秋战国起衰落,最终得出结论:南阳独山玉的自身特点不符合春秋战国时期兴起并确立的用玉观,导致其自春秋战国后衰落。

As an important type of jade,Dushan jade of Nanyang has a history of 7,000 years of development and utilization and once played an important role in the political and cultural life of ancient China.From the perspective of archaeology,there is still no relevant research on or convincing explanation of the phenomenon that Dushan jade declined after the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period.This paper combs through records of Dushan jade of Nayang in historical documents and,in combination with unearthed pre-Qin Dushan jade wares,studies the reasons for this decline from the perspectives of cultural development and the evolution of the theory“jade representing virtue”before it concludes:Dushan jade of Nanyang lost favor after the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period because its own features did not conform to the jade utilization concept that developed and became established during these periods.
