A Research on Issues Related to Bronze Yong Bells Unearthed from the No.1 Stone-coffin Tomb in Mutuo,Mao County

四川茂县牟托一号石棺墓是岷江上游地区目前出土青铜器数量最多、种类最丰富的一座墓葬[1]。该墓文化因素复杂,出土器物的时间跨度较大,其中陶器具有较鲜明的本地特色,其年代可至战国晚期;鼎、盏、罍、钟等青铜礼乐器整体具有中原、楚等地春秋中晚期的风格特征;部分铜兵器带有巴蜀文化风格,年代上限可至西周早期。

The bronze yong bells unearthed from the No.1 Stone-coffin Tomb in Mutuo,located in the upper Min River,can be classified into four types,mainly according to the pattern on the body,the bronze yong bell with cicada pattern,with dragon pattern,with triangle pattern and the one with no pattern.These bells are strongly influenced by the bronze culture in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River,which is the possible cultural origin of the Mutuo bells,in the aspects of form,decoration combination and the mode of composition.These yong bells can date from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Early Warring States Period,approaching to the age of relics in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River.Some events in the Eastern Zhou Period along the Yangtze River,such as the cultural transmission of the Chu Culture to the west along with the bronze culture in the Jianghuai Region to the west,lead to the cultural exchange between the upper Min River and the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River.
