摘要
三星堆遗址、金沙遗址出土了数件带銎杖首,在我国,这种形制的权杖(首)最早出现于西北地区,可能是通过青藏高原东麓或经由中原地区中转,从而传入成都平原,这意味着成都平原与各地区的交流通道在先秦时期已经形成。西北、中原与成都平原的同类器信息显示出古蜀社会的上层成员在使用“舶来品”的同时,也开始按照自身的文化传统对其进行模仿或改制。
The Sanxingdui and Jinsha sites have yielded bronze artifacts with socketed structures,which likely functioned as composite ceremonial or utilitarian implements combining bronze and wooden components-specifically socketed staff heads.Notably,the bamboo or wooden shafts that formed essential components of these scepters had completely decomposed by the time of excavation,leaving only the bronze heads preserved.This material discrepancy long hindered comprehensive academic recognition of these artifacts as integral components of complete ceremonial staffs,resulting in research gaps within related scholarship.Addressing this lacuna,this study employs art archaeological methodologies to systematically analyze the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of socketed bronze staff heads from the Sanxingdui and Jinsha sites within comparative frameworks encompassing the Yangtze River basin,northwestern China,and the Central Plains.The investigation focuses on two primary research questions:the formal characteristics,typological origins,and transmission routes of socketed staff heads in ancient Shu civilization;and the reconstruction of cultural exchange networks between the Chengdu Plain and other regions during the Shang-Zhou period.Spatiotemporal distribution patterns reveal a clear diffusion trajectory following a“Northwest-Central Plains-Southwest”transmission route:While regional variations in iconography persist across different cultural spheres,the core function of these staff heads as symbols of elite authority demonstrates remarkable cross-cultural consistency.This functional convergence provides direct evidence for the transmission of scepter culture.The coexistence of functional homogeneity and formal adaptation reveals complex interaction mechanisms within early Chinese civilizations:On one level,the“cultural gene”of scepter-as-power-symbol circulated through trade networks,ethnic migrations,and political alliances within transregional systems.Simultaneously,the Shu craftsmen’s modifications of foreign prototypes demonstrate active local appropriation and adaptation of exogenous cultural elements by regional elites.This dialectic between cultural transmission and local reinterpretation exemplifies the dynamic processes underlying early Chinese civilization formation.
