晋“假虞伐虢”古战场考察报告

Investigation Report about Ancient Battle Fields of Jin “Attacking Guo by Way of Yu”

春秋中叶,晋为打通向中原发展的战略通道,一再“假道于虞以伐虢”,终至各个击破悉灭之。此役所派生的著名典故“辅车相依,唇亡齿寒”,数千年来在历朝历代朝野影响,既深且巨。据日前野外考察所知见,当年所假之道,即颠车令坂(亦即虞坂)。颠车令坂固有狭、广二义,狭义的颠车令坂,指北起春秋故虞城,南至故冥阝城;虞坂指西北起河东盐池,东南至故虞城。广义的颠车令坂,则含狭义的颠车令坂和虞坂。此役所涉古战场,皆当颠车令坂上:冥阝城当今平陆茅津渡;下阳当今平陆老城一带;上阳当今河南陕县旧城东南李家窑一带;虞城当今平陆北古城村一带。

In the middle of Spring and Autumn,Jin Kingdom, in order to open up the strategical thoroughfare expanding toward the Central Plains, again and again＂attack Guo by way of Yu＂and finally wipe out all the other Kingdom one by one. For millenniums, the famous classical allusion, ＂As close as the jaws and the jaws; if one falls, the other is in danger＂derived from the battle, has deeply influenced the court and the commonalty of every dynasty deeply and greatly. Depending on the field investigation made a few days ago, we know that the way the Jin Kingdom then made use of was Dianlinghan（or Yuhan） ,Dianlingban has inherently two senses of the broad and the narrow. In the narrow sense, Dianlingban started north from ancienf Yu Town of Spring and Autumn south to the old Ming Town; and Yuhan started north-west from Yanchi, Hedong south-east to old Yu Town. In the broad sense however, Dianlinghan included both Dianlingban and Yuban in their narrow senses. All the involved battlefields should be on the hillside of Dianlinghan including： Ming Town now Maojindu of Pinglu County; Lower Yang,the area around the old town of Pinglu of today;Upper Yang, the area around Lijiayao of Shan County,Henan Province now; Yu Town, at the area present around Gucheng Village of Pinglu.
