毕公事迹及毕公世系初探——基于清华简的研究

A Preliminary Research of the Deeds of Duck Bi and His Lineage

清华简《耆夜》记载毕公姬高是"勘黎"之战的主将,这使我们对毕公周初重臣地位的形成有了进一步的认识。根据清华简《耆夜》并结合出土金文推断,毕公应该有子封于黎(楷);又根据清华简《祭公》的记载,毕公后裔毕曾在周穆王时期位列三公。这证明毕公家族与周公、召公、太公家族一样,也遵循着一子就封诸侯国、一子"世为王臣"的体制。

As recorded in the text of Qiye,one of Tsinghua Bamboo Slips,Duck Bi was the chief commander of the Battle of Kanli,a reason for him to become an important vassal in the early Zhou Dynasty.According to Qiye and unearthed bronze inscriptions,there might be a Duck Bi's son who had a fief in Li(Kai);according to Jigong,another Tsinghua Bamboo Slips, Bi Huan,a descendant of Duck Bi,was one of the Three Dukes during the period of King Mu of the Zhou Dyhasty.Both records certify that Bi family,like the duck families of Zhou,Shao,and Tai,had followed by the system of one son ruling a dukedom and another being 'loyalty to the kingdom over generations'.
