《穆天子傳》“晉南”段的交通地理重建及相關問題

本文以李學勤先生論定之山西省絳縣橫水鎮西周倗國墓地為《穆天子傳》中的“崩⻖人”作為地理支點，重新梳理《穆天子傳》卷一至卷四之中有歷史依據的地名。不同於將相關地名定位於雁門關、河套以至河西走廊的舊說，本文認為相關地名與地貌描述更適合對應山西省南部的運城盆地及其緊鄰區域。這顯示《穆天子傳》是以戰國早期的魏國疆域作為地理背景，其成書年代為西元前四世紀中葉至前330年之間。
The geographical reconstruction of this article is based on the premise of Professor Li Xueqin’s theory that identifies the archaeologically discovered Western Zhou Peng State Cemetery倗國墓地, excavated at Hengshui Town橫水鎮, Jiang County絳縣, Shanxi Province山西省, with the "Beng Ren崩⻖人" recorded in the text of Mutienzizhuan 穆天子傳. By locating Beng Ren at Jiang Country, this article argues for a reconfiguration of the related place names recorded in Chapter 1 to 4 of Mutienzizhuan. As opposed to previous theories, which trace these place names to a wide area traversing the Yanmen Pass 雁門關, Hetao河套, and the Hexi 河西 region, this article demonstrates that the majority of them can be identified with the topography of and the historical place names clustering around Yuncheng Basin運城盆地 in southern Shanxi Province and its proximate areas. As this area corresponds to the territory of the Wei State 魏國 during the early Warring States period, this research also sheds light on the provenance and date of composition of Mutienzizhuan (roughly mid 4th century BCE-330 BCE) Copyright © 2021 清華大學出土文獻研究與保護中心.
