渑池窖藏铁器铭文相关问题研究

Research on Inscriptions on Cellared Ironware Discovered in Mianchi and Relevant Issues

渑池窖藏铁器中有200多件可辨识铭文的铁器,铭文种类有黾、黾左、黾右、黾池军左、黾池军右、绛邑冶左及津右等30多种。本文对铭文字体、铁器类型与产地及汉晋时期铁官制度等问题进行了分析,认为渑池窖藏铁器铭文所体现的应是西晋时期“冶令”铁官制度下的铁器勒名形式,这种形式不同于汉代铁器工业高潮时期的铁器标识特征,是一批难得的研究魏晋南北朝时期冶铁生产与制度的重要资料。

Among the cellared ironware discovered in Mianchi,there are over 200 pieces bearing identifiable inscriptions.More than 30 types of inscriptions have been identified,such as“黾(Mian)”,“黾左(Mian Zuo)”,“黾右(Mian You)”,“黾池军左(Mianchi Jun-Zuo)”,“黾池军右(Mianchi Jun-You)”,“绛邑冶左(Jiangyi Ye-Zuo)”and“津右(Jin You)”.This article starts with an analysis of Calligraphy of inscriptions,type of ironware,productinal place,administrative bureaus overseeing iron smelting in Han-Jin,and comes to the conclusion that the inscriptions on cellared ironware found in Mianchi are archaeological evidence of Western Jin’s rule demanding the inscription of the makers’names on the ironware they produced,as imposed by“冶令(Ye-Ling)”,the administrative bureau supervising iron smelting and founding back at that time.Given the fact that these inscriptions are different from their counterparts found on iron items produced in the heyday of ironware production in Han Dynasty,the cellared ironware discovered in Mianchi are rare archaeological specimens for the research into iron smelting and production as well as related regulations during Wei-Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties.
