殷商舌族考

Probing into the She Clan in Yin-shang Dynasty

舌族不见传世文献记载,从甲骨文、金文及近年考古发现可知其是殷商时期的一个重要氏族,与殷商王室有密切的关系,其贵族有在殷商王朝为官者,其地望应为今郑州市西北郊一带,其族长为卫爵。

She clan doesn t exist in handed down documents,and we can know that She clan was one of the important clan in Yin-shang Dynasty from inscriptions on bones or tortoise shells,inscriptions on ancient bronzes and archaeological findings in resent years.It had good relation with Shang royal family,some of its nobles worked in government of Yin-shang Dynasty,its people lived in the suburb of northwest of Zhengzhou,its patriarchs title of nobility was Wei.
