摘要
阴湘城和石家河古城是江汉地区两个著名的史前时代的古城。最近,在这两个古城遗址的发掘中发现了两例相似的陶文。作者对这两例陶文进行了考释,认为它们是“荆”字最初的写法。他进一步认为“荆”是距今4000-500O年前生活在江汉地区的一个远古部落的名称,而荆州也因此而得名。
Two similar prehistorical pottery inscriptions were found recently from Yinxiangcheng and Shijiahe, two famous prehistoric sites in the Jianghan area. This paper argues that they are the original form of the character Jing. Moreover, it indicates that Jingzhou is named after an archaic clan living in the Jianghan area in 5000-4000 B. P., which was known as Jing.
