绍兴九板桥玉戈玉圭和夏遗民奔越

Jade Ge Halberds and Gui Tablets from the Jiubanqiao Site in Shaoxing and Their Association with the Mythical Legend of the‘Dispersed Xia Remnants in the Yue Region

2009年在绍兴九板桥发现的玉戈和玉圭是二里头文化二期的作品,是夏王朝遗物,说明夏王朝确实是制作并使用玉圭的。它们是在二里头文化四期之后从中原地区来到古越国核心区域,显示古越国的开发与夏遗民奔越有关,印证司马迁所记“越王句践,其先禹之苗裔”的说法确实是有史实背景依据的。

In 2009,jade ge halberds and jade gui tablets from the second phase of the Erlitou culture were discovered at the Jiubanqiao site in Shaoxing.This article proposes that these were ritual objects produced during the Xia dynasty.The authors further suggest that this discovery reflects the spread of Erlitou cultural influence from the Central Plains to the ancient Yue region after the fourth phase of the Erlitou period,which may have connected to the migration of Xia remnants to the Yue region and the subsequent development of the ancient Yue state.This discovery also provides additional evidence for the historical legends recorded in the Shiji,which suggest that the founder of the Yue state was a descendant of Yu.
