试论郑州小双桥商代祭祀遗存的有关问题

郑州小双桥遗址发现了众多与祭祀有关的遗存,多数研究者认为其性质为宗庙祭祀.通过与其他祭祀遗存的比较,并对其祭祀现象进行分析,本文认为目前的考古发现还没有证据表明小双桥祭祀遗存的性质为宗庙祭祀,而更有可能是对自然神或战争进行祭祀的场所.

Relative Questions of Remains of Sacrificial Activities of Shang Dynasty at the Xiaoshuangqiao Site in Zhengzhou

Many remains of sacrificial activities were discovered at the Xiaoshuangqiao site of Shang dynasty in Zhengzhou. Most of the researchers hold that the character of remains of sacrificial activities at Xiaoshuangqiao site is the ancestral temple sacrifice. Based on the comparison of sacrifical remains at other sites and analysis of the remains of Xiaoshuangqiao site, this paper concludes that no more archaeological evidence support that view. The character of sacrificial remains at Xiaoshuangqiao site may be the place used for sacrificing the natural god or the war.
