■公簋与晋国早期历史问题刍议

A Preliminary Discussion on Duke Jue's Gui and Related Issues of Early Jin State's History

■公簋的公布对重新认识晋国早期历史问题带来了契机。该器称燮父为"唐伯",此"伯"不是排行或爵称,而是方伯之"伯",唐叔虞亦可称"唐伯",这为唐叔虞和燮父在周初任方伯重职,藩屏周邦,增添了新的证据。此外,■公簋铭并不能证明"唐伯"燮父由"唐"地迁封至"晋"地,"唐"到"晋"只是国号的改变,目前晋国早期都邑的地望还不清楚,迁都之说仍需证明。

The publication of the inscription on Duke Jue's Gui(a type of food container) offers an opportunity for re-examining the early history of the Jin State.In the inscription,Xiefu is called Tang Bo,which refers to Fang Bo,chieftain of a local clan,instead of the birth order or a noble rank.Thus,Tangshu Yu(Uncle Yu of Tang) could also be called Tang Bo,from which it is known that both Xiefu and Tangshu Yu were important chieftains who protected the Zhou state in earlier period.Moreover,the inscription could not prove that Xiefu moved his clan from Tang to Jin,since the change only refers to the name,but not the location of the clan.
