试论商代早期王宫池苑考古发现

A Study of the Archaeological Findings on Garden Pool-sites in Royal Palaces of the Early Shang Period

试论商代早期王宫池苑考古发现在偃师商城和郑州商城遗址的宫殿区内发现了用石块砌筑的商代早期水池和水渠。它们均位于宫殿区东北部,规模和结构基本一致,年代则前后承接,用途也应该相同。这些是目前考古发现的中国最早的帝王池苑遗迹,在中国古代都城制度和水利史研究等方面具有重要价值,在商代考古学上也有特殊意义。

On the Shang period Yanshi and Zhengzhou city-sites, excavation revealed vestiges of the early Shang stone-built pool and ditch in the palace area. They are in the northeast of the palace area, roughly the same in size and structure and successive in date, and must have been identical in function. As the first remains of this type so far recorded in archaeology, they have important value in the study of the architecture of ancient capitals and the history of irrigation, as well as in the archaeology of the Shang period.
