Study On The Bronze Wares Unearthed From The Tombs Of Yidigang In Suizhou

As a country developed under the two major cultural systems of Zhou and Chu,Zeng State was influenced by the two major mainstream cultures of Zhou and Chu.Its enfeoffment was in the period of King Wen,and it was destroyed in Chu in the middle of the Warring States Period.The tomb group of Yidigang was located between the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period and the middle of the Warring States Period,and a small number of early Spring and Autumn period artifacts were unearthed.During this period,the bronze artifacts unearthed have the embodiment of the Zhou Chu culture.The focus of this study is to address when the Zhou cultural factors disappeared on Zengzi and when the Chu cultural factors appeared on Zengzi during this period,and whether Zengguo formed its own cultural style during the transition of the Zhou and Chu cultures.With this issue in mind,based on previous studies,using methods such as literature research,statistics,archaeological typology,and cultural factor analysis,this paper conducts a more in-depth and comprehensive study of the bronze artifacts unearthed in Yidigang,including an analysis of the evolution of the shape,stages,and dating of the artifacts,as well as regional styles,in order to address the historical reasons behind the formation of this style change.This article is mainly divided into the following parts:The first chapter is the introduction,which clarifies the research object.On the basis of fully drawing on and absorbing the previous research achievements of Zeng’s bronze ware,and combining with newly discovered archaeological data in recent years,it comprehensively collects and arranges the existing Yidigang bronze ware obtained through scientific archaeological excavation,and whose images are described in archaeological briefs,reports,or other literature.It also briefly introduces the purpose and significance of the research,explains the research ideas and methods,builds the main framework of the article,and reviews and sorts out the relevant academic history.The second chapter conducts a typological analysis of different types of bronzes unearthed in the cemetery of Yidigang.It mainly divides the types of bronze ritual vessels,musical instruments,weapons,and chariot and horse implements,and arranges the evolution order of the implements.The third chapter is based on the typological analysis of the previous chapter,dividing the unearthed artifacts into five periods to clarify the coexistence of different artifacts in the same period,and determining the age of each period through regional comparative research.The fourth chapter analyzes the cultural composition of the bronze artifacts unearthed from the tomb group.Mainly through the shape of artifacts,decorative style,and combination of three aspects of in-depth discussion.Through analysis,it is found that both the shape and decorative style of the implements were deeply influenced by the Central Plains and Chu culture from a large perspective.From the late Spring and Autumn Period,the factors belonging to the Zhou culture on the bronze ware disappeared,and the factors of Chu culture began to emerge.At the same time,new artifacts different from the Zhou and Chu cultures emerged,indicating that at this time point,Zeng gradually separated from the influence of the Zhou original culture and began to integrate with the Chu culture,And established its own cultural system.Chapter five is a summary of the previous chapters.
