从日本出云的考古发现看中国越文化东播

Archaeological Discoveries in the Area of Izumo in Japan and the Eastward Spread of Chinese Yue Culture

文章分析了日本出云地区近年的考古发现，并以其出土的文物及民俗、信仰各方面与中国越族的历史、文物、民俗作了比较，探讨了日本神话中的“出云王国”与越人东迁移民的关系，特别是随着越人东迁而产生的越文化对日本蛇信仰之影响。这一切同时也表明，在汉代以前就已出现了中国越文化东播的史实。文章还对已往中日文化交流史尚未研究到的北九州以北、西日本沿海一带的古越人活动作了探讨。

This paper analyses the new archaeological findings in the area Izumo of Japan in many respects as indicated in the relics, customs and believes in both Japanese and Yue Cultures. It aims at the relation between the 'Realm of Izumo' in Japanese mythology and the eastward emmigration of the Chinese Yue clan. It stresses the influence of the Japanese snake belief derived from the Yue culture due to their eastward emmigration. Besides, it reveals the historical fact of the eastward spread of the Chinese Yue Culture before the Han Dynasty and the activities of the ancient Yue clan between the north of Kitakiuxiu and the west coast of Japan.
