望江县藏八卦铭文镜时代重考

Restudy of the Date of the Bronze Mirror with Eight Diagrams Design and Inscription Collected in Wangjiang County

望江县博物馆藏一枚八卦铭文镜,有学者认为此镜为南朝齐高帝建元年间所铸。本文通过对该镜镜型、铭文、避讳等方面进行考释,并结合五代史实断定此镜为南唐交泰元年(958年)所铸,此镜体现出扬州端午铸镜风俗在五代时期仍然存在。

There is an inscribed bronze mirror with eight diagrams design in the collection of the Wangjiang County Museum. Some scholars believe that it was cast in the Qi Emperor Gaodi＇ s Jianyuan Era in the South Dynasties period. The present paper studies its form, inscription, taboo avoidance, etc. On this basis as well as relevant historical events the author comes to the conclusion that the mirror was cast in the first year of the Jiaotai Era, Southern Tang Dynasty（AD 958）. Thus as reflected from the mirror, the Yangzhou custom of casting mirrors on the 5^（th） day of the lunar 5^（th） was still observed in the Five Dynasties Period.
