“南巢”故地在肥西新论:“桀奔南巢”的双重证明

Research on the Old Place of“Nanchao”is in Feixi:“Jie Escaped to Nanchao”has been Doubly Proved

“桀奔南巢”是古史中经常提到的一段历史事件。近年来,安徽肥西地区陆续出土了二里头文化青铜器,为探讨这一事件的历史真相提供了新的材料,对于夏代有无的争议以及构建可信的夏史也有着极其重要的意义。结合文献与考古学研究的双重证据,可以得出以下结论:夏桀所奔之“南巢”即春秋之巢,其地望应在今肥西一带;巢重心东迁至巢湖沿岸应在春秋以后,改称居巢在战国中期前后。肥西地区二里头文化青铜器的出土与“桀奔南巢”的文献记载相互印证,是夏史研究的新突破。

“Jie escaped to Nanchao”is a famous historical event in ancient history.Erlitou cultural bronze wares have been unearthed in Feixi area in recently years,which provide new evidence for exploring the historical truth of this event,and the important archaeological find is also meaningful for proving the existence and constructing the credible history of the Xia Dynasty.The following conclusions can be drawn by combined with the double evidence of literature and archaeological research:“Nanchao”where Xia Jie escaped to is Chao in the Spring and Autumn period,which should locate in next to Feixi area today;the center of Chao moved eastward to the shore of Chao lake after the Spring and Autumn period,and renamed Juchao in the middle of the Warring States period.The unearthing of Erlitou cultural bronze wares in Feixi area confirms the literature records of“Jie escaped to Nanchao”,which is a new breakthrough in the study of Xia history.
