中国七大古都始都年代考

On the Beginning years of China's Seven Ancient Capital Cities

确定古都准确的始都年代对深入研究古都形成与演变的历程有着直接影响。我国众多古都中一些建都年代较早的，目前对其始部年代问题，尚缺乏深入研究，看法不够一致。中国七大古都中大多存在这一问题。现经研究考证，其中洛阳地区二里头有夏初都城遗址，其始都年代约在公元前１９００年前后；安阳之殷墟为商代晚期都城，其始都年代为公元前１２９９年；西安地区最早都城为西周丰镐，始于公元前１０４０年；北京地区在西周武王十二年始建有燕、蓟二国，它们始都年代为公元前１０２７年；开封地区战国时为魏国都城，始于公元前３６１年；南京地区最早都城为三国时吴国之建业，始都于公元２２９年；杭州最早为五代吴越国所都，始都于钱进封为吴越国王之公元９０７年。
