蜀与殷商关系刍论——从甲骨文记载谈起

Primary Remark on the Relation Between Shu and Yin-Shang Dynasty ——Discussing from the record in the inscriptions on bones

文献资料和大量地下考古资料证明,殷商时代的蜀在今四川成都平原。甲骨文资料证明了殷商时代的蜀和黄河中下游地区的殷商王朝已建立了联系。开始接触的时候,曾有小规模的局部战争,之后则保持了友好交往。殷商派人到蜀地去,蜀也派使者到中原。但在当时路途遥远、山水阻隔的条件下,双方的联系和交往较为松散,蜀对殷商王朝不存在藩属、服役、贡纳关系。双方虽互有影响,但都保持了自己的独立性。

It is proved by literature and great amount unearthed archaeological data that the Shu place is on the present Chengdu Plain. The data from the inscriptions on bones prove that the Shu place in the period of Yin-Shang dynasty already established linkage with Yin-Shang Empire situated in the middle and lower basin of the Yellow River. In the starting period, there had local fight between the two; afterward, they set up and kept friendly association. The court of Yin-Shang dynasty sent people to Shu and Shu sent people to Yin-Shang as well. But under the condition of far and difficult ways, the association was not close and Shu was not a vassal state to the former. Both the two affected each other and kept its own independence respectively.
