从盘龙城遗址看商文化在长江中游地区的发展

从盘龙城城址、宫展、贵州墓葬的存在及化面貌的性质来看，其为南方土方国的可能性不大，应是商人南下所建直系方国的都邑所在。作为商人在南土的区域统治中心，其作用应该说是多方面的，相比而言，盘龙城对商王朝来说，经济上的作用可能更加重要，一方面为商王朝在南方收取贡赋及各类物质，以保障商王室及其他贵族的生活需要和国家机构的运转；另一方面重点开采、收集南方的铜矿资源并由此转运北上，以满足商王朝政治、军事和经济上的广泛需要。

Development of Shang Culture in Middle Yangtze River Based on Case Study on Panlongcheng

This paper proposes that based on its fortified city, palace, and elite burials, Panlongcheng was the headquarter of a state established by the Shang people directly coming from the Central Plains. As a local administrative center, Panlongcheng functioned in many aspects, but the economic one was the most significant to the Shang Kingdom: it collected tributes to support Shang royal family and elites and keep the operation of the state on the one hand, and mined and transferred coppers to the north to satisfy various demands on the other hand.
