春秋战国时期陶质包装容器功能考释

Function Research of Ceramic Packaging Containers During the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period

春秋战国时期的陶质包装品有罐、壶、瓮、陶盒等不同类型和形制,这些包装容器的包装归属性基本上可以确定为食品包装与酒水包装,其中极具特色的就是包山楚墓出土的陶罐包装,其包装专属性特征极为明确,堪称最早的陶质食品罐头包装。然而,伴随着漆器的兴起和东汉晚期瓷器的烧制成功,陶质包装容器的包装功能逐渐退化,并最终被淘汰。

Pottery containers in the Spring and Autunm warring states period demonstrate different types and shapes, such as cans, pots, jars, pottery boxes and so on. These containers can be basically classified into food packaging and drink packaging categories, among which the most distinctive is the pottery packaging unearthed in Baoshan Chu Tomb with obvious attributes of specific packaging, and could be called the earliest ceramic canned food packaging. However, the rise of lacquer ware and the success of porcelain firing in the late Eastern Han Dynasty led to the gradual degradation of ceramic packaging container＇ s function, and its ultimate elimination in the end.
