春秋青铜器器名方言考

Research on Dialects in Naming the Bronze Ware of the Spring and Autumn Dynasty

以自名器为依据,从器物所属、出土时地、器名发展源流、古今学者论述几个方面综合考察春秋青铜器器名(?)、盆、盏、(?)等,认为这四个器名都是方言。

Whether the name of bronze ware has the composition of dialects, nobody has carried on special research. Considering the difficulty in naming the bronze ware and the wrong name it was once given, it may be more reliable to tell whether it was dialect or not by investigating and judge it through the inscription on itself. Basing on the name for bronze itself, we consider the four names of bronze ware, which are zheng ((?)), pen (盆), zhan (盏) and dan ((?)) are belonging to dialects, according to what they are affiliated, the unearthed time and place, the naming resources and the statements of other scholars.
