句鑃国属新考

句鑃是中国先秦时期的一种乐器,它主要流传在南方是学界公认的,但已往学界对句鑃具体的国属或族属多存而不论,或笼统冠之"吴越之器",这是因为从句鑃的发生情况确实难以确认其所宗归谁。但笔者认为,据现有的句鑃资料及吴越墓葬材料,应大致可确定其为越国乐器,即为"于越"族的本地特色乐器。本文从多个角度及理由试对此论点进行了论证。

Gou-diao was a kind of Chinese musical instrument appeared at pre-Qin period.It was public accepted that Gou-diao was popularly used in south China.But scholars rarely mention its nation belonging more specific,or just say they are from Wu area and Yue area.This is because it is really difficult to make sure its ownership according to how it was originated.But I think,we can almost sure that Gou-diao was an instrument of Yue nation in the inspection of materials of Gou-diao we can get and information from tombs of Wu nation and Yue nation.This article tries to prove this argument through several reasons.
