东周青铜盆、盏、敦研究

A STUDY OF BASINS,ZHAN COVERED SMALL BASINS AND DUI SPHERICAL VESSELS IN THE EASTERN ZHOU PERIOD

东周时期的盆、盏、敦是最为常见的青铜容器，长期以来，学者对其命名、功用、发展脉络以及器形演变等方面，作了不少有益的研究和探讨，取得了许多成绩。但迄今为止，意见仍未趋一致，见仁见智之说尚有不少。笔者有感于此，近来对这些铜器作了一番较为详细的考察和梳理，愿于此略陈陋见，以供学人参考。

The basin, zhan coverd small basin and dui spherical vessel were the most popular vessel types in the Eastern Zhou period. Over a long period of time, scholars have made .deeR-going studies on various aspects of these objects and have got a lot of results. But so far no unanimous understanding has been reached among the researchers, and further study is undoubtedly necessary. Based on the already obtained achievements, the present paper makes an all-round research on these vessel types. Firstly, it discusses their interrelationships, studies their evolutionary lines, and points out that they formed a successive sequence in the Eastern Zhou. Next, it makes a typological division of these types and deals with the periods of prevalence of the subtypes. Finally, it investigates the names of these types in different areas and the regions of their prevalence.
