眉县新出青铜器与西周王室世系、年代学及相关问题

The Bronzes Discovered Newly in Meixian and the Chronology, Lineage of the Kings of Western Zhou Dynasty and Other Issues

2 0 0 3年 1月陕西眉县杨家村出土了 2 7件氏铜器 ,其铭文具有极其珍贵的史料价值。按铜器铭文内容与器形 ,可分为 3组 8篇 ,并应与 1985年在杨家村发现的另一组青铜器做综合考察。这些资料叙述了单氏家族 8代世系与西周王朝 12代世系的对应关系及相关史事 ,其中的 12位周王与《史记·周本纪》所述西周王室 12位列王的次序与称名完全一致 ,将 1976年出土的史墙盘所未列的西周王室后半世系全部补上 ,从出土文献的角度第一次全面印证了《史记·周本纪》等书面文献的可靠性。同时 ,还为西周年代学研究提供了新的考古依据 ,证明了夏商周断代工程所列“西周年表”的基本框架可以成立。另外 ,还有助于我们对西周历史文化有关问题的辨误。

The update of bronzes of Western Zhou Dynasty discovered in Meixian, Shanxi Province and related information are arranged and compiled in this paper. The academic values of the bronzes are appraised completely. First, the archaeological discovery proves that the lineage of Western Zhou Dynasty recorded in some ancient books such as the Records of Historian is credible. Secondly, the basic age frame of Western Zhou Dynasty concluded by the Project of Chronology of Early Chinese History of the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties is feasible. Then it is very important for us to correct some problems about the historical culture of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
