邹县所出“取子”钺剩义

The Study on the Weapon of Yue of Quzi Found in the County of Zou

邹县所出取子钺,据形制和纹饰,可知其晚于西周早期;经铭文字体和金文辞例分析,可断定此器时代为春秋早期。与春秋早、晚期邾国国君铜器铭文对比,"取子"定非邾国国君之称,而是另一高级贵族。

Based on the form and decoration, the weapon of Yue of Quzi found in the county of Zou, Shandong Province, was not ear lier than the early stage of the Western Zhou. By the analysis of the style of calligraphy and words of the inscription, it is dated to be early stage of the Spring and Autumn Period. Compared with the inscriptions of the princedom of Zhu during the Spring and Autumn Period, I can draw a conclusion that Quzi was not the title of the king of Zhu. There is reason to believe that it is belonged one of senior nobilities in Shandong nowadays.
