从文献与考古资料看徐国历史的变迁

Historical Changes of the State of Xu as Seen from Documents and Archaeological Discoveries

徐夷自夏代就出现在历史的舞台上,至迟自西周建立国家政权并日益强大到足以和西周王室抗衡,在西周宗主国和其他诸侯国的长期打压和夹击下,春秋中晚期沦为大国争霸的牺牲品,并最终为吴国所灭亡。本文根据历史文献和考古资料对徐国的起源、发展壮大、灭亡及灭亡后的迁徙历史作了一个大致的梳理,以期对徐国历史有一个较全面的认识。

Xu Yi appeared in the historical arena as early as the Xia Dynasty and became an established state as late as the Western Zhou Dynasty when it gradually grew into a state powerful enough to challenge the Western Zhou royal court.Under the constant suppression and attack of the Western Zhou suzerain and other dukedoms,it became the victim of the rivalry of big states in the mid-and late-Spring and Autumn Period until it was eventually wiped out by the State of Wu.This article,on the basis of historical and archaeological documents,makes a preliminary study of the origin,growth,perish and post-perish migration of the State of Xu,in the hope of presenting a fairly complete picture of the history of the State of Xu.
