夏代晚期韦、顾、昆吾等方国地望研究

Study on the Locations of Wei,Gu and Kunwu Ancient Kingdoms in the Xia Dynasty

探寻夏代晚期东方地区韦、顾、昆吾等方国的地望,应遵循六项研究原则。分析发现,现今有关三方国地望的各种观点皆有一定的弊端或疑窦。郑州地区完全符合探寻三方国地望的六项研究原则,把三方国地望确定在今郑州地区最为适宜。由于今郑州市区、荥阳大师姑、新郑望京楼等地分别发现了大型方国城址或中心聚落,文献又有三地分别为韦、顾、昆吾三方国故地的记载或旁证,而且这三地的方位还符合商汤伐夏由东往西或西南的路线顺序,故三方国地望分别位于此三地的可能性很大。

It must follow six research principles to explore the locations of the eastern countries Wei （韦）, Gu （顾） and Kunwu （昆吾） in the late Xia Dynasty. This paper considers that the opin- ions of these ancient kingdoms location nowadays have some disadvantages. It＇s appropriate to confirm that the locations of these ancient countries are distributed in Zhengzhou region. This conclusion ac- cords with the former six research principles. The urban area of Zhengzhou （郑州）, Xingyang Dash- igu （荥阳大师姑） and Xinzheng Wangjinglou （新郑望京楼） are probably the locations of these ancient kingdoms by recording in the literatures. This conclusion also conforms to the route of Tang （商场） crusaded against the Xia Dynasty.
