郑国青铜礼乐器祭祀坑相关问题讨论

新郑祭祀遗址出土青铜礼乐器作为祭祀重器,是春秋中期郑国特殊祭祀文化的具体表现.不同遗址出土器物组合的差异,从器物层面体现了当时郑国高等级贵族间的微妙关系,轮流执政的卿大夫已经掌控了包括土地所有权在内的多项国家权力,拥有和国君同等级的礼器、乐器使用权,仅在用鼎数量方面存在着差异.作为祭器的祭祀坑出土青铜礼乐器和同时期墓葬出土器物有着本质上的区别,表明当时祭祀礼仪仍然严格遵循着传统礼制,也正是由于这个原因,不能将遗址出土青铜乐器与"郑卫之声"简单地等同分析.

A Discussion of Zheng State Bronze Ritual Vessels and Musical Instruments,Sacrificial Pits and other Problems

The bronze ritual and music objects from the Xinzheng offering site,as the pivotal tools for the offering ceremonies,could demonstrate particularly the special offering culture of Zheng vassaldom.The difference among the ritual and music object combinations from different sites illustrates the delicate relationship among the high noblemen of Zheng vassaldom and the dignitary,who held the vassaldom power in turn,grasped various state authority such as the land ownership,enjoyed the same level right of employing the ritual and music tools as that of the vassals,except possessing fewer ding(a kind of tripod as ritual vessel).The essential difference between the bronze ritual and music objects unearthed from the offering pits as offering tools and those from the same date tombs as burial equipments suggests that the offering ceremonies at that time still strictly followed the traditional system and therefore the bronze ritual and music objects from the offering pits couldn't be simply regarded as brought about by the said "erotic music of Zheng and Wei" .
