青州苏埠屯亚乁族徽新释

A New Interpretation of the Clan Emblem Yayi Unearthed at Subutun, Qingzhou

本本文从古文字学的角度出发,对山东青州苏埠屯晚商墓地出土的所谓"亚乁"族徽进行分析并提出新解,该族徽应为"亚乁",为商代乁族之小宗。同时提出,商代晚期亚乁族所居的青州苏埠屯一带,应即春秋时期的移地。

This article interprets the clan emblem Yachou excavated in Subutun, Qingzhou, which provides a new perspective based on paleographic studies. It points out the so called Yachou should be Yayi, which was a branch of the Yi lineage in the late Shang dynasty. In addition,the location of Subutun at Qingzhou in the late Shang period should be the same place of Yi in the Spring and Autumn period.
