安徽六安出土“廿三年东阳”戈考

A Study on the “Nian San Nian Dong Yang” Dagger-axe Unearthed in Lu'an, Anhui Province

安徽六安出土一件铭文铜戈,上有"廿三年东阳"等十二字铭文。通过对铭文内容和辞例的研究,可知其为赵兵,铸造于赵惠文王二十三年(公元前276年)。此戈的发现,再次证明齿突与魏器并无绝对关联,亦说明赵国兵器铸造制度在赵惠文王二十三年前后有一个较大的转变,"东阳"建置之始则至迟发生在赵惠文王二十三年。

The bronze dagger-axe unearthed in Lu ＇ an, Anhui Province contains a twelve-word inscription that includes the characters ＂Nian San Nian Dong Yang＂ （Year 23 in Dongyang）. The inscription content and format suggest that this dagger-axe was made in the Zhao state in Year 23 of the reign of King Hui Wen （276 BC）. The discovery of this bronze dagger-axe demonstrates that ＂Chi Tu＂（齿突） was not necessarily related to the Wei state and that there was a big shift on weapon casting in the Zhao state around 276 BC. The discovery also demonstrates that Dong Yang was firstly set as a county in 276 BC or before.
