从战国楚墓祭祀竹简看《九歌》的属性

On the Jiu Ge's Attribute from the Bamboo Slips Unearthed in Chu Tombs

望山一号、天星观一号及包山二号三座战国中期楚国贵族墓中出土的占卜、祭祀竹简载录了楚国人信仰的数十种神祗。通过对这些神祗的考察,我们认为《九歌》确实属于沅湘民间祭歌,而不是楚国王室的祀典。

A lot of names of Gods and ancestors were inscribed in the bamboo slips unearthed in the Chu Tombs at Wangshan, Tianxingguan and Baoshan, belong to three aristocrats of Chu Kingdom. Through observation and study on the bamboo slips, we conclude that Jiu Ge written by Qu Yuan was based on the folk songs offered to Gods, not the elegiac address of the Chu royal.
