朝鲜半岛竿头铃初识

A First Look at Pole-Top Bells of the Korean Peninsula

本文整理了朝鲜半岛出土的22件竿头铃资料,着重分析研究了草浦里遗址、新丰遗址以及青松里遗址出土的5件竿头铃。通过竿头铃的通高及上下比将其分为两类,两类竿头铃可能存在相对早晚差别。结合出土遗物的墓葬形制以及共出遗物特征等分析了竿头铃的存续时空范围,并参考相关历史文献记载,推测朝鲜半岛出土的竿头铃这类遗物与欧亚地区广泛存在的杆头饰具有同样的功用,应该都是重要活动中特殊人物身份的标志,由此进一步判断竿头铃这类遗物的出现与朝鲜半岛早期国家的形成关系密切。然而竿头铃的起源、传播等问题,还有待进一步深入研究。

This article compiles the data on 22 pole-top bells unearthed from the Korean Peninsula,with a focus on analyzing and studying 5 pole-top bells unearthed from the Chopo-ri,Shinpung,and Chongsongri sites.The pole-top bells can be divided into two categories based on the height and top-to-bottom ratio,and there may be relative differences in the timing between the two types of pole-top bells.By analyzing the temporal and spatial range of the existence of the pole-top bells through the tomb shape and the characteristics of the coexisting relics,and referring to relevant historical documents,it is speculated that the pole-top bells unearthed from the Korean Peninsula has the same function as the pole-top ornaments widely found in the Eurasian region,and that they are symbols of the identity of special people in important activities,and further inferred that the appearance of the pole-top bells is closely related to the formation of early state in the Korean Peninsula.Further in-depth research is needed on the origin and dissemination of the pole-top bell.
