“巴人起源”问题的检讨

A Review on the Issue of the Origin of Ba People

由于史籍的失载,导致学者对"巴人起源"问题聚讼不已。新的考古资料发现,使得鄂西峡江地区夏商时期的文化遗存被多数学者确认为早期巴文化,认为巴人起源鄂西峡江地区。其实,这与"巴"的相关概念没有被厘清有很大的关系,其研究方法是值得讨论的。"巴人起源"问题并没有得到解决。

Due to lack of recordation,the origin of the Ba people has always been ambiguous.Up to the present,this issue still has not been resolved,although the cultural relics of the Xia and the Shang dynasties in the area of the Three Gorges,western Hubei,are considered as early Ba Culture.Since the relevant concepts of Ba has not been clarified,it is necessary to re-discuss the former research methods.
