可乐文化因素在中南半岛的发现及初步认识

The Discoveries and Preliminary Understandings of the Elements of Kele Culture in Indochina

可乐文化是战国秦汉时期西南夷地区的一支土著青铜文化,主要分布于贵州西北部一带。近年来,在中南半岛的柬埔寨、越南等地发现源自于中国境内与可乐文化有关的套头葬、镂空牌形首剑等,这对研究汉代西南夷地区与中南半岛间的文化联系、族群迁徙以及夜郎历史和夜郎文化有非常重要的学术意义。

Kele Culture is an aboriginal bronze culture of the Southwestern Yi people in the Warring- States Period through the Qin and Han Dynasties mainly distributed in the present-day northwestern Guizhou Province. In recent years, the cultural elements related to Kele Culture, such as head encasing burials and bronze swords with pommels in the shape of hollowed plaque, are discovered in Cambodia, Vietnam and other areas of lndochina. Obviously, these cultural elements came from Kele Culture in China; their appearance in Indochina not only provided new materials for understanding the relationship between the Southwestern Yi area and Indochina Peninsula but also is very meaningful for the researches on the migrations of the ethnic groups in the southwestern territory of the Han Dynasty and the history and culture of Yelang State in the angle of archaeology.
