岐山贺家出土铜器铭文研究

The Study on the Inscriptions of the Bronzes Unearthed at Hejia Village in Qishan

对岐山贺家一带出土的铜器铭文研究表明,西周时期这一带居住的族群以非姬姓居多,只有南宫家族与周王室同姓。墓地形成主要是受政治因素支配,少数带腰坑墓葬的族属不可能成为左右这里的政治方向,而嬴姓族群可能是周公东征时被迫迁徙来的。西周时期一个宗族规模平均大约为100人,姬姓宗族人数可能多一些,异性少一些。康王赏赐给南宫家族的17伯(宗族)中的一部分应居住于贺家一带,姬姓南宫家族是这一带的管理者。

The studies on the inscriptions of the bronzes unearthed at Hejia Village in Qishan County showed that during the Western Zhou Dynasty, the people dwelling here were mostly not that of the royal clan, only the Nangong Clan of which had the same surname with the royal clan of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The formation of the cemeteries were mainly handled by the political factors; the clans in the minority whose burials had waist pits could not be the decisive power of the local politics, and the clans of the Ying Family might have been forced to immigrate here during Duke of Zhou＇s eastern expedition. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, a clan generally consisted of 100 people or so, while that of the Ji Family （royal family of the Western Zhou Dynasty） might be more and that of other families might be fewer. A part of the 17 clans bestowed by King Kang of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Nangong Clan as retainers would have been settled in and nearby the present-day Hejia Village and the Nangong Clan of the Ji Family would be the governor of this area.
