从新出宗人簋铭文看周代贵族家礼中的乐舞

Dance of Noble Family Ceremonies in Zhou Dynasty from Inscriptions of Zongren Gui

新出宗人簋是反映西周贵族家族内部礼乐生活的重要材料。铭文记载私家贵族伯氏宴请祭伯的典礼上有命舞仪节,这表明除天子、诸侯以外的贵族阶层燕飨礼亦可用舞。宗人簋所载家礼乐舞仪节与传世文献所见的天子、诸侯相关乐舞繁简有别但主干相同,可补传世文献之阙略。不惟如此,宗人簋有关武舞用具细节的记载还有助于解决周代贵族燕飨礼用舞种类及其形态的学术公案。

Zongren Gui(宗人簋)is an important material reflecting the internal rites and music life of the noble families in the Western Zhou Dynasty.The inscriptions recorded that a private noble family named Bo hosted a dance ceremony at the banquet for Jibo,which indicated that the noble class other than the king and feudal princes could also use dance in their feast.The dances of family rites inscribed in the Zongren Gui were different from those of the king and feudal princes recorded in the historical literature,but the main part was the same,which could make up for the lack of documents.In addition,the details of“Wu Dance”artifacts recorded in the Zongren Gui were helpful to solve the academic issues on the types and forms of noble ceremonial dances in the Zhou Dynasty.
