黎城西关M7、M8出土铜器铭文及有关问题

Inscriptions on the Bronzeware Unearthed from Tombs M7 and M8 at Xiguan Cemetery in Licheng County and Related Issues

在对山西黎城西关墓地M7、M8两座墓葬出土青铜器铭文进行详细分析的基础上,对该墓地出土的仲考父盘等及传世的齐侯壶(洹子孟姜壶)铭文的释读和理解提出一些新的见解。M8出土的青铜器风格特征较近,年代应相近同,系M7墓主仲考父生前所作,年代略早于M7出土的仲考父盘等遣器,也早于墓葬即M8的年代。M7墓主楷侯宰吹(楷宰仲考父)与楷大司徒仲车父、楷大司工尚倮等皆任要职,其身份或皆系楷国公室,恐非如简报所云为士一级贵族。

On the basis of a detailed analysis of the inscriptions on the bronze vessels excavated from the two tombs M7 and M8 at the Xiguan cemetery in Licheng County,Shanxi Province,some new insights are put forward on the interpretation and understanding of the inscriptions on the Zhongkaofu pan etc.excavated from the cemetery and the Qihou hu(Huanzi Mengjiang hu).The styles of the bronze vessels excavated from the M8 are similar,so they should be made close in time by the owner of the M7,Zhongkaofu,during his lifetime.The age of them is slightly earlier than Zhongkaofu pan and other Qianqi(遣器sacrificial-offering vessels)excavated from the M7,and also earlier than the age of the M8.The owner of the M7,vassal of the Kai state,named Chui(the vassal of Kai,named Zhongkaofu)and Kai Dasitu Zhongchefu,Kai Dasigong Shangluo,etc.,all hold important positions,they all may be family members of Marquis Kai,rather than the nobility of Shi±,as the excavation report suggests.
