西周周王铜器论列

On the Sequencing of the Imperial Bronze Ware in Western Zhou Dynasty

目前已出土的西周时期周王为宗庙、祖先及其他人所作铜器大致有19件,从它们的形制、纹饰、铭文等方面的特点,可推测出陕西岐山周王庙西周贵族墓葬群的发现,将对西周铜器的组合形成与分期断代的研究产生重大影响,并揭示西周社会历史的诸多奥秘。

The 19 pieces of recently unearthed bronze ware made by Kings of Western Zhou Dynasty for their ancestral temples, ancestors and other people show distinguished features in their format, decorative designs and inscriptions. By studying these feature, we can infer that the discovery of the large-scaled noble tombs in Qishan County, Shaanxi Province, will certainly exert great influence on the sequencing of the bronze ware and on chronology concerning that period. And meanwhile, it will reveal many mysteries about the society and history of Western Zhou Period.
