禹“娶于涂山”、“合诸侯于涂山”之历史文化探析

Research on Yu's Marriage and His Union

文献中有禹"娶于涂山"的记载,学者们一般认为该事件具有政治联姻或战争掠夺婚的性质。但结合当时的社会历史发展状况而言,其不过是对五帝时期族外婚状况的反映罢了,并不具有政治或军事上的深意。另外,研究表明,合诸侯符瑞于名山是五帝时期成为部落联盟主的一项固定仪式。禹"合诸侯于涂山"体现了各部落对大禹的归顺,以及大禹对各部落酋长的节制。

Scholars believe that the marriage of Yu and the girl from Tu -shan tribe was the political marriage or the war plunder marriage. But I think it＇s just the reaction of the exogamy in that time. And the record of the alliance between Yu and baronage reflected that Yu had become the leader of the tribal alliance.
