“耳铸公剑”铭铜剑的年代探讨

Discussion on the Era of the Bronze Sword Inscribed with“Er zhu Gong Jian”

有学者认为内蒙古和林格尔县土城子征集的“耳铸公剑”铭铜剑为春秋晋国公子重耳(晋文公)所用之剑。本文从“耳铸公剑”铭铜剑的形制、吴越系厚格剑在北方地区的传播、战国时期该型剑厚格的变化等几个方面论述,认为该剑年代应不早于春秋晚期,很可能为战国时期,并指出该剑与晋国公子重耳(晋文公)无涉。

Some scholars believe that the bronze sword with inscription of“Er Zhu Gong Jian”collected from Tuchengzi Village,Helingeer County,Inner Mongolia was used by Prince Chong’er(Duke Wen of Jin)of the Jin State during the Spring and Autumn Period.This paper discusses the shape of the bronze sword inscribed with“Er Zhu Gong Jian”,the spread of the swords with thick hand guard of the Wu-Yue System in the northern region,and the changes in the thick hand guard of this type of sword during the Warring-States Period.It is believed that the sword should be dated no earlier than the late Spring and Autumn Period,and is likely to be of the Warring States Period.This sword has nothing to do with Prince Chong’er(Duke Wen of Jin).
