马王堆出土帛书地图柱状物的寓意

The Symbolized Meaning of the Pillar-shaped Objects in the Silk Books and Maps Unearthed in Mawangdui of Changsha City

马王堆出土帛书地图中的柱状物．谭其骧、周世荣先生以及林河先生等人的解读有不妥之处．经与我国各地出土文物对照比较．帛书应是象征男性生殖器的人祖柱。

Mr.TAN Qi-xiang's,ZHOU Shi-rong's and LIN He's interpretaions about the symbolized meaning of the pillar-shaped objects in the silk maps unearthed in Mawangdui of Changsha City seem implausible.Comparing these objects with similar cultural relics unearthed in some other places of China,people can draw a more plausible conclusion:they symbolize man's reproductive organ--phallus.
