“楚灭巴”考辨

A Textual Research of “Chu Exterminated by Ba”

通过考古资料与文献材料的结合,本文详细地考辨了学术界关于"楚是否灭巴,所灭何巴"的争论,认为一些文献记载的"楚灭巴"是可信的。楚所灭之巴并不是一些学者所持的江州巴、汉上巴及廪君巴,而是蒙文通先生所持的枳巴,时间约为楚顷襄王十九年。

Based on the comparative study on archaeological materials and historical texts, this paper does a detailed textual research on the dispute ＂whether Chu exterminated Ba and which Ba was extermined＂ in academia. ＂Ba exterminated by Chu ＂ recorded in some documents is credible. The ＂ Ba＂ exterminated by Chu isn＇t Ba of Jiangzhou, Ba of Hanshang or Ba of Linjun that some scholars insist on . It is Ba of Zhi that Mr. Meng Wentong identifies during the time of about the 19th year of King Chu Qingxiang.
