试论东周王城的宫城

Analysis of the Palatial City in the Royal Capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty

一般认为东周王城是没有宫城仅有郭城的都邑形态。从考古发现来看,东周王城是传统的内城外郭的都邑形态。宫城位于其西南部,是外有城壕、内有墙垣的独立城圈,并有一个动态的发展过程。春秋时期宫城规模最大,战国早中期一分为二成为略小的宫城和仓城东西并立。

It is generally held that the royal capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty belongs to the type ot walica- town that only included an outer town （guocheng）. Nonetheless, archaeological discoveries clearly show that the layout of the capital city observed the traditional rule and consisted of an inner city or palatial city and an outer town. The palatial city was situated within the south-western part of the outer town surrounded by a moat and enclosed by a single town wall. It is also of interest to note that the hyout of the capital changed over the course of tirm. During the Spring-and-Autunm period, the scale of palatial city was distinctively large, while during the Early and Middle Warring-States periods it was subdivided into a smaller size palatial city and a walled-town for storehouses.
