The Study Of Eastern Zhou Traveling Devices In Gansu-Ningxia Region Of The Northern Chinese

The object of this paper are traveling devices in Gansu and Ningxia region of theNorthern Chinese in Eastern Zhou period, especially for the temporal with ornament tothe local characteristic as the starting point. The foreword part is briefly summary tothe discovery and research of northern bronze culture tombs in the Gan-Ning region,and to propose a framework of this paper, the paper has five chapters.Chapter one: Introduction to the definition and the evolution of the temporal withornament. By comparative study with some similar objects, maybe it is decorated inthe coincidence point of temporal belt and forehand belt on a horse. From early to lateit has a complete sequence of the evolution that is the longitudinal profile from outsidethe arc-convex-convex bubble-oblique convex tube-straight convex tube.Chapter two: Considering the temporal with ornament as the starting point, toResearch the types change of symbiotic traveling devices. From early to late the typesand the numbers of the traveling devices gradually increased, especially the decorativetraveling class.Chapter three: The development of each class of the traveling devices. Especiallysome of the characteristics of the traveling devices in Gan-Ning region, and thecontents are including the size of objects, the function, the sequence and so on.Chapter four: The comparative study of the traveling devices with the surroundingarea. To the late the styles of practical traveling devices such as curb bit, curb chainand the endpiece of axle were learned from the Central Plains region; BetweenNeimenggu and Gansu-Ningxia region the traveling devices are generally similar; inthe northern Hebei most of the traveling devices had been assimilated by CentralPlains Culture.Chapter five: The summary statement of the paper. The innovation of this paper is by the comparative study to define thecharacteristics object of the Gan-ning region-temporal with ornament, at the sametime its complete sequence of evolution provides a evidence for dating the northernbronze culture in Gan-Ning region. Detailed and comprehensive study of all thetraveling devices in the Gan-Ning region also provides basic materials to explore theculture of Riding Nation in the Northern Chinese or the Eurasian region.
