人面弓形格铜剑研究

A Study of Bronze Daggers with Human Faces and Bow-shaped Guards

通过对人面弓形格铜剑的综合分析,可以看出它是流行于战国至西汉中期的一种形制特殊的兵器。各地发现的这类铜剑应该都是由滇东南、桂西北地区的句町文化制作并传播到其他地区,其纹饰包含着太阳神鸟崇拜的宗教信仰。

A comprehensive analysis of bronze swords with human faces and bow-shaped guards reveals that these distinctive weapons were prevalent from the Warring States period to the mid-Western Han Dynas-ty.These swords,found in various locations,are believed to have been produced by the Gouding Culture in the southeastern Yunnan and northwestern Guangxi regions before spreading to other areas.The decorations on these swords reflect religious beliefs,particularly the worship of the Sun God and bird totems.
