“面缚”新证

New discussion about Mian Fu

"面缚"在先秦文献中经常出现,它往往和其它礼节一起构成投降礼仪。"面缚"在后来的历史时期甚至成为投降的代名词。历来的学者对"面缚"的形式提出了很多的解释,但矛盾的地方仍然很多。笔者结合文献、考古、古文字方面的材料,提出:"面缚"来自于古代捆绑战俘的习俗;它的形式有很大的随意性,可以是缚手于前、缚手于后、捆绑颈项以及颈手俱缚中的任一种。

MianFu , which often appeared in the books of Pre-Oin dynasty, was connected with other ceremony to impress the meaning of surrendering and Mian Fu was considered as surrendering in the long period . Some experts have put forward many explanations about it ,but there still exist contradictions. With materials of literature, archeology and archaic letter, I advanced that Mian Fu came from the rite of trussing captives and its form had many possibilities.
