周代策命是周天子策封赏赐诸侯或臣下的仪式上使用的实用文体，一般在太庙举行策命仪式时颁布，见证者为傧者，宣读者多为内史，有时是尹氏或其他史官。周代策命形成稳定的体制，通常包括封赏的原因、具体的赏赐及教导与勉励三部分。周代策命语言诚挚恳切，语气温润亲切，典雅舒缓，成为后世策命文体模仿的典范。%Ceming(策命)is the genre of text used by the king of the Zhou Dynasty at the investiture ceremonies,which was usually held at the ancestry temple. Serving as the document of investiture, the text should be witnessed and announced by some influential court officials such as binzhe(傧者), neishi(内史),and yinshi(尹氏). Having developed into a stable genre,the ceming text in the Zhou Dynasty mainly consisted of the following three parts:why this investiture should take place;what was conferred;and what the beneficiary was expected to do.
