岭南铜提筒与江东原始瓷筒形器的比较研究——兼论百越文化视野下的提筒形器

摘要

岭南地区秦汉时期的铜提筒在当地越文化中具有代表性.江东地区西周春秋时期的墓葬或遗址中常出土一类带提耳的原始瓷筒形器,其造型独特,纹饰繁复,在尺寸、器形等方面与铜提筒多有相似之处.从浙江德清火烧山原始瓷窑址出土的一批标本器入手,对这一类筒形器重新进行类型学分析,然后就其主要的功能性因素与岭南铜提筒进行比较研究,可以明确二者的相关性,进而归纳出此类提筒形器在春秋以后南方各地出现的规律.该形制可能并非被动传播的文化因素,而是百越文化背景下各地的统治阶层在特定的社会历史环境中,为凝聚族群认同,维护统治利益,而对文化因素和器物形制作出主动选择和"策略性操控"的产物.%The Qin and Han bronze pails in Lingnan area are representative objects of the local Yue (越) culture. The burials or ruins dating to the Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn periods in the Jiang-dong area have been repeatedly seen unearthing a type of primitive ceramic cylinders with handles and dense ornaments,which share some similarities with the bronze pails in terms of size and shape.A typologi-cal analysis is performed on these ceramic cylinders with a batch of primitive ceramics from the Huosha-oshan kiln in Deqing as a reference. A comparative investigation is then done concerning the functions of these cylinders and the bronze pails of Lingnan, which confirms the correlation between the two and con-cludes the patterns of which these ceramic cylinders emerged in the south after the Spring and Autumn peri-od.Given the historical background of Baiyue cultures it is argued that the shape and structure of these cyl-inders might not be formed from cultural exchanges, but rather a proactive choice and"strategic manipula-tion"made by the ruling class with the aim to unite tribal identities and safeguard their interests.
