钟离国史稽考

On the history of the state of Zhongli

钟离古国,文献有记载但仅只言片语,不成系统。近来钟离国君墓的发现使人们对于钟离国史产生浓厚兴趣。本文将文献记载与考古资料相结合,对钟离国缘起、地望、氏出及其春秋时期的有关史事进行辨正考察、综合研究,提出钟离古国灭亡不晚于春秋中期、钟离君柏墓葬可能要早到春秋中前期的新认识,并就《左传》和《史记》中几处有关钟离地望的记载,重新做了推定。

Few words on the ancient state Zhongli can be found in documents.The recent archaeological discovery of the tomb of Zhongli monarch has aroused public interest in the state.Based on the records in ancient documents and the archaeological findings,a thorough study of Zhongli,including its origin,geographical position,its elites and the great events during the Spring and Autumn Period was conducted in this article.The findings show that the state Zhongli perished no later than mid Spring and Autumn Period,and that its monarch Bo＇s tomb was constructed before the mid Spring and Autumn Period.And a new presumption of the location of the state Zhongli was made based on the records found in Zuo＇s Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals and Records of the Historian
