录子艅铜甗与录国地望

On the Luziyu Bronze yan and the location of the Lu state

内乡县衙博物馆收藏的录子艅铜甗对研究西周录国的历史地理具有重要意义。从录子艅铜甗的造型、纹饰及铭文看,该甗时代为西周早期偏晚阶段。从该甗的出土地点,结合古代文献资料分析,西周早期录国为“南土”诸侯国之一,其地望应在内乡县大桥乡一带。

The bronze yan with the Luziyu inscriptions in the Neixiang County Bureau Museum is significant for understanding the historical geography of the Lu state of the Western Zhou dynasty. The style and inscriptions indicate that the vessel should date to the late phase of early Western Zhou period. The unearthed locality, together with the related historical records, suggests the Lu state should be one of the“Southern Land”states, the location of which should be at the Daqiao village, Neixiang County.
