蒲城地望考

The Examination of the Location of the Pu Town

晋国献公时期,出于军事方面的考虑,在北部边疆建立了城防要塞蒲城,并让公子重耳在此驻守长达十几年。后因骊姬之乱,重耳逃离蒲城,随后蒲城再无晋史记载。其地望汉代以后就已模糊不清,虽有韦昭与杜预二人注解,终因证据不足反生歧义。现在随着隰县古城遗址与均庄遗址的考古调查,蒲城地望也渐露端倪,大量考古资料结合文献记载,确认古城遗址系汉代蒲子县所在地,和蒲子县相关的蒲城也在今隰县行政辖区内,其地望可能在城川河上游均庄村一带。

During the reign of Duke Xian （676–651 BC） of the Jin State in the Spring-and-Autumn Period, considering the military defense, a fort named Pu Town was built in the northern border zone of the Jin State, and Prince Chong＇er was assigned to garrison there for over a decade. Later, because of Li Ji Rebellion, Chong＇er fed from Pu Town, and since then the Pu Town vanished from the history of the Jin State. As early as after the Han Dynasty, the location of the Pu Town was unclear; Wei Zhao and Du Yu have given its location in their commentaries to the Spring-and-Autumn Annals, but the insufcient supporting evidence made it even more ambiguous. At present, along with archaeological surveys to the ancient city site and Junzhuang Site in Xixian County, the location of the Pu Town gradually became clear; the large amount of archaeological data with the reference of historical textual materials confrmed that the ancient city site was the seat of the Puzi District of the Han Dynasty, and the Pu Town related to Puzi District was also in the area under the jurisdiction of present-day Xixian County, the location of which might be the Junzhuang Village at the upper reach of Chengchuan River.
