妀善鼎铭文考释

The Interpretation and Commentary of the Inscription of Jishan Ding-tripod

首都师范大学历史博物馆近年征集的妀善鼎,器、盖同铭。铭文记述了(己其)晏生之孙为其母或妻子妀善作器。根据器形、纹饰及铭文判断,妀善鼎属于春秋早期的可能性较大。妀善鼎为探索先泰时期(己其)国的地望、历史以及其与晏族的关系等提供了重要资料。

The Jishan Ding-tripod collected by the history museum of the Capital Normal University in recent years has identical inscriptions on the lid and the body. The inscription recorded that this ding-tripod was made by the grandson of Yansheng of the Ji State for his wife or mother whose name is Jishan 妀善. Estimated by the type, decorative designs and inscription, the Jishan Ding very probably belonged to the early Spring-and-Autumn Period. The Jishan Ding provided important materials for the researches on the location and history of the Ji State in the pre-Qin period and its relationship with the Yan Clan.
