“滇池”本在成都平原考

On "Dian Chi" Being Originally in the Chengdu Plain

自来学界认为上古时期的“滇池”一直就在今云南高原,由此导致西南上古历史中很多问题无从解决。本文通过搜集、分析现代技术资料和历史文献资料,认为战国后期以前的“滇池”必是在今成都平原。只是由于战国后期蜀部族人的南迁,“滇池”之名才被带到今云南高原上。此结论的取得,可以使西南上古历史、地理、民族等方面的诸多谜题获得科学而合理的答案。

Since ancient times, all scholars have been holding the belief that “Dian Chi”（滇池） was in the Yunnan Plateau. Following this view, many problems of the southwestern China＇s ancient history could not find satisfactory solution. Based on the technical materials and historical documents, this paper holds that “Dian Chi” was in the Chengdu（成都） Plain before the later period of the Warring States. The Shu（蜀） tribe passed on the name of “Dian Chi” to the Yunnan Plateau while they moved to the south in the later period of the Warring States. This conclusion will bring us more scien- tific and reasonable answers to many puzzling questions concerning the ancient history, geography, and minorities of southwestern China.
