霸伯簋所见西周霸国与晋南盐业的关系

The Relationship between the Baguo of Western Zhou Dynasty and the Salt Industry in Southern Shanxi as Seen from Ba Bogui

晋南地区的解池是古代池盐的重要产地,又称河东盐池,位于山西省运城市。商周时期,解池是河东地区最大的盐池。山西翼城大河口墓地M1017出土了两件霸伯簋和一件霸伯山簋,其铭文记载丼叔来霸国"盐",嘉奖霸伯之事。霸国是文献失载的西周封国,位于山西省南部,结合其地理位置和出土簋铭"盐"来看,霸国与晋南地区的盐业关系密切。

Jiechi in Southern Shanxi area,also known as Hedong Salt lake,located in Yuncheng,Shanxi Province,is an important source of lake salt in ancient times.During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties,Jiechi was the largest salt mine in Hedong.Three Ba Bogui have been unearthed from the M1017 cemetery at Dahekou in Shanxi’s Yicheng City.The inscription records that Jingshu came to Baguo for“Salt Sacrificing”and to reward the Babo(the leader of Baguo).Baguo is a sealed state in the Western Zhou Dynasty which is not recorded in documents.It is located in the southern part of Shanxi Province.According to its geographical location and the unearthed inscription“Salt Sacrificing”,it is closely related to the salt industry in Southern Shanxi.
