芮国铜器与芮国世系探微

On the Bronze Artifacts and History of the Rui State

芮国考古方兴未艾,近十几年来不断有芮国相关的遗址被发现,其中最大的收获便是芮国国君墓地的发现与芮国带铭铜器的出土。通过将这些出土铜器与传世铜器、文献相对比、结合,可以对芮国历史有更加深入的认识。芮国自西周初年到灭亡为止,可能经历了13代国君,历时近400年,芮国地位经历了较大的起伏。其中,芮国晚期曾迁徙到韩城梁带村、澄城刘家洼地区,在春秋早期经历了由畿内贵族到独立封国的转变,最终为秦国所灭。

Archaeological work of the Rui kingdom has been making great progress.In recent decades,Ruirelated discoveries have come to light,the most notable ones of which include the cemetery of the Rui Kings and bronze wares with Rui inscriptions.A comparison between the unearthed data and historical documents could shed light on the Rui history.There may have been 13 generations of Rui Kings for 400 years,from the founding of the Rui state at the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty to its demise.At its final state,the Rui state may have been relocated to Liangdaicun and Liujiawa,which transformed from an vassal state to an independent vassal state at the beginning of the Spring and Autumn period.Eventually,it was taken over by the Qin state.
