楚国始都郢及其初迁时地的探讨

Ying,the Original Capital of the Chu State and Its First Movement

楚国始都郢及初迁时间、地理位置,至今仍是悬而未决的重要课题。本文根据有关文献记载,参考一些方家的论述,认为楚文王始都郢在今宜城楚皇城,而楚成王二十四年郢已在江陵纪南城,成王二年到成王二十三年为迁都时间范围。

Ying, the original capital of the Chu State, and the exact time and place of its first movement is still a significant and suspending question for discussion up to now. Identifying the accurate site of Ying City and the time as well as the place of its first movement is important and meaningful to estimate its cultural value and to study the history of the southern cities in China.
