从凤凰洞古文字的发现再论商族起源地

Re-discuss the Origin of Shang Tribe from the Discovery of Ancient Characters in Fenghuang Cave

在凤凰洞发现的古文字是商代早期文字。通过对洞内第一组书写文字的初步释读,确认凤凰洞为商族原始宗庙遗址,后世的郊宗石室之制即其流风余俗。《左传.昭公八年》所记根牟一地在鲁国东部边境,商地在凤凰山周围。这再次为商族起源于山东省新泰市南部、蒙山北侧、凤凰山周围的结论,提供了更加可靠的文字依据、翔实的文献依据和确凿的实体依据。

The ancient characters discovered in Fenghuang Cave proved to be the ones in early Shang Dynasty. Through the initial explanation of the first - group characters in the cave, it can be affirmed that Fenghuang Cave is the ancient temple site of Shang Tribe; and the rules of some stone niches for ancestors in following generations were cited from the site＇s traditional practice. According to the historical record, 8th year of Zhao emperor＇s reign, Zuo Commentary, the place Genmou located in the eastern frontier of Lu Kingdom, and emperor of Shang Dynasty just lived around Fenghuang Mountain. All of these provide the good clues on characters, literature and objects for a solution that, Shang Tribe was originated at somewhere, the place south of Xintai City, north of Meng Mountain, around the Fenghuang Mountain.
