江淮地区出土的青铜盒形器及其来源

Research on Bronze Box-shaped Utensil Unearthed from Jianghuai Area and Its Origin

江淮地区出土的青铜器中,有一类造型比较特别的盒形器。根据其出土地域、同出器物时代以及文献记载分析,这类青铜器属于群舒青铜文化遗存。通过比较分析,其造型来源应为竹编器,为非仿陶青铜器。群舒青铜器中的牺首鼎亦为非仿陶青铜器,而流甗属于仿陶青铜器。这三类青铜器有着不同的来源,但都是群舒青铜器中最重要的礼器,应当是群舒为建立自己的礼仪制度而创造的,反映了群舒确实具有一套符合自身特点的礼制。

Among the bronze wares unearthed in the Jianghuai area,there is a type of boxshaped utensil with a special shape.According to the analysis of the unearthed region,the contemporary artifacts,and the literature records,such bronze wares belong to the Qunshu Bronze Culture.Through comparative analysis,the modeling source should be a bamboo utensil,which is a non-imitation ceramic bronze ware.The Xi-head Ding in the Qunshu bronzes also belongs to non-imitation ceramic bronze,while the Yan with a long-pouring mouth belongs to imitation ceramic bronze.These three kinds of bronzes have different origins,but they are the most important rituals in the Qunshu bronzes.They should be created by Qunshu to establish their own etiquette system,which reflects that Qunshu does have a set of rituals that conform its own characteristics.
