Duoyou ding inscription to see the"Jingshi"new examination
The inscription records the whole process of a battle of the Zhou people during the reign of King Li of the Western Zhou Dynasty.In recent years,with the emergence of new materials such as Xinian,the debate about the view of"capital"in the inscription has been triggered again.The investigation of the"capital division"in the late Western Zhou Dynasty should be placed under the historical situation at that time.Through the comprehensive investigation of the military functions of the"certain division"in the Western Zhou Dynasty,we believe that the"Jingshi division"in the late Western Zhou Dynasty should be a large regional concept,rather than a specific place name.As an important part of the Western Zhou line,the"capital"of the late Western Zhou Dynasty should be located in the middle and lower reaches of the Jingshui basin,is the military buffer zone against invasion.
