宿国地望及相关问题探析

Study on Location of Su State as well as Some Relevant Questions

本文从历代宿国地望诸说存在的诸多问题出发,结合晋侯苏钟铭文所见新线索,对宿国地望变迁及所反映的历史问题进行细致探析,指出周代曾存在南、北两宿并立的事实,其中《左传》僖公二十一年所载为北宿,故地在今山东东平东二十里之宿城镇;晋侯苏钟铭所见"宿夷"及春秋初年参与宋国会盟、后为宋人逼迁至宋境的为南宿,故地在今安徽宿州市附近。

Since there are many questions about the studies on location of early Su State, this article focuses on historical-geographical issues about Su State by the Inscription of Marquis Jin’s Bells, which provides a valuable piece of relevant information. The conclusions of this article are： （1） there were ever two Su states during Zhou Dynasties, one was located at nowadays Dongping（东平） County, Shandong province; the other, whose people was called Su Barbarian in the bells’ inscription, was located around nowadays Suzhou（宿州）County, Anhui province. （2） In early Spring Autumn period, southern Su, just like northern Su, which was gobbled up by Qi State and turned into one of Qi’s frontier settlements, became a client state of Song and was migrated into Song domestic land.
