周族起源于成都平原说——兼与沈长云先生商榷

Hypothesis of the Zhou people's Origin from the Chengdu Plain——As a Discussion with Mr. Shen Changyun

沈长云先生《周族起源诸说辨正》认为,周族起源于白狄。周族与白狄是有姻亲关系,但是,二者有姻亲关系不等于周族起源于白狄。周族既在晋南居住过,也在关中居住过,而且在此期间,与今陕西东北部及山西西部黄河两岸的戎狄即白狄通婚融合。文献记载,周人与戎狄族人都奉黄帝为祖先。而黄帝氏族在境内发祥于若水,前期邑于都广之野即成都平原。李家崖文化与先周文化关系密切。李家崖文化起源于西南地区,准确地说是四川成都平原一带。由此可以推论,古若水流域直至都广之野这片地方才是周族的祖籍或祖源地。《山海经·海内经》记载:"西南黑水之间,有都广之野,后稷葬焉。"一般来说,祖先所葬之地就是一个族群的祖居地,所谓叶落归根。据此可以认为,周族起源于成都平原。

Mr. Shen Changyun pointed out,in his On the Hypotheses of the Origin of the Zhou People,that the Zhou people originated from the Baidi people. However,we assert that while the Zhou people had affinity with Baidi,that does not mean that the Zhou people originated from Baidi. The Zhou people had lived in Jinnan and Guanzhong,and had marriage relationships with the people Rongdi (i. e. Baidi)in Northeastern Shaanxi and western Shanxi along both banks of the Yellow River. The literature show that the Zhou people and the people of Rongdi both regarded Huangdi as their ancestor,and Huangdi and his descendants earliest originated from Ruoshui, living in the Chengdu Plain in their early stage. So to speak,the Zhou people's origin or the land of their ancestors is in Ruoshui or later to the Chengdu plain. Based on conclusive evidence,this paper aims to prove that the Zhou people's ancestral home is located in the Chengdu Plain and not anywhere else.
