先秦时期齐地古国考论——兼及齐文化之形成

Research and Discussion on the Ancient States in Territory of Qi State during the pre-Qin-Dynasty Period: Concurrently on the Formation of Qi Culture

太公初封于齐,国小地狭,后世渐行开拓,至战国时期湣王灭宋后,齐国疆域遂臻于极盛。在此齐国版图最大时期的地域范围内,自夏以来的不同历史阶段,皆曾有诸多古国存在。这些古国的居民皆为东夷土著,而有国者族属不同、姓氏各异,炎帝后裔之姜姓及东夷姜姓、嬴姓居多,后有周族姬姓,间有舜后妫姓及黄帝之后任姓等先圣后裔。这些古国最终都成为齐国的一部分,而各古国之文化因素则随之逐渐汇集融合,终成日后特色鲜明之齐文化。

When Master Keung was first appointed Duke of Qi, its territory was very small. However, through the efforts of several generations to come, it gradually expanded outward and achieve extraordinary boom after King Min of Qi wiped out the Song Kingdom during the Warring States Period. in the different historical stages since the Xia Dynasty, there were many ancient states inside of Qi State when its ter- ritory was the largest in history. The inhabitants of these ancient states were all Dong Yi aborigines （i. e. the ancient eastern barbarian tribes）, but were of different ethnic groups and of different family names in these states. Most of them were descendants of Emperor Yan by the family name of Jiang and Dong Yi aborigines who were surnamed Jiang and Ying, and later there were descendants of an ethnic group of Zhou whose family name was Ji, and a small number of descendants of past sages and men of virtue such as those of Emperor Shun with the surname of Gui and those of the Yellow Emperor with that of Ren. Along with the changes of the inter - ethnic relationship between Dong Yi and Hua Xia （ old name for China） , the distribution pattern of these ancient states began to bear certain characteristics, and eventually became part of Qi State, and their ancient cultural factors were gradually fused to become in the future the Qi cuhure with distinctive characteristics.
