先秦楚系礼俎考述

A Study of Chu-system Ritual Tables of the Pre-Qin Period

结合近年楚简遣策释读成果,对楚系礼俎的名称、形制和组合进行分析,可以认为战国贵族墓通常一墓有等级相邻的两组俎,其中的一组为一墓一件,器形较大,俎数不等;另一组为一墓一套或多套,器形较小,这两组组合属于战国中期卿大夫附层的用俎,反映了俎制成熟期的规范化现象。

The present paper analyzes the name, shape and combination of Chu-system ritual tables and takes into account the decipherment results recently acquired in the study of bamboo slips with lists of tomb furniture. On this basis the author comes to the conclusion that during the Warring States period, aristocratic tombs were generally furnished each with two groups of ritual tables, which belonged to two adjacent grades. One group is larger in size and occurs in each tomb in one set varying in number; the other is smaller and occurs in one or several sets in each case. The two combinations can be assigned to the qingdafu vassal stratum of the middle Warring States period. They reflect the ripeness and standardization of the ritual table using institution at that time.
