摘要
古文献所说东南方一带的蛮夷对周王室负有缴纳贡品的“要服”的义务 ,以出土的西周青铜器铭文来看 ,此说是完全可信的。西周金文可证 ,西周东南方蛮夷不仅如古文献所说要向周王室缴纳上等丝帛及以地方特产为主的贡品 ,而且还要缴纳禾谷并定期为周王室服役。缴纳禾谷及服役是古文献中所未谈到的。结合古文字与古文献资料不仅可以证明载籍中所说蛮夷“要服”制是存在的 ,而且还可证明东南蛮夷与西北戎狄以及中原侯伯对周王室的服属的确是有区别的。
It is recorded in the ancient literature that the frontier tribes in the Southeast had the obligation of yaofu (being loosely controlled) to pay tribute to the royal family in the Zhou Dynasty. It is authentic from the inscription engraved in the unearthed bronze. Furthermore, as the inscription indicates, the frontier tribes in the Southeast in the Western Zhou Dynasty not only paid tribute mainly composed of high class silk and other local products to the royal family as is recorded in the historical literature, but also paid grains and service. The latter fact is not mentioned in the historical literature. The combination of the inscription with historical literature proves that the yaofu status of the frontier tribes did exist and that such status did differ from those of the tribes in the Northwestern and the noble in the central plain in their relations to the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty.
