摘要
根据器物的制作观念、动机及其服务的对象,陶寺遗址墓葬用器可分为明器、生器与祭器,具体表现为器物形态、制作工艺、修饰技巧以及使用痕迹的差异.明器与日常生活中同类器物的区别反映了先民在丧葬情境中对现实世界的重构与改造.生器主要包括墓主人生前使用的装饰品和工具.在统治者的墓葬中,会出于政治象征的需要,随葬使用者并非本人的生器.祭器是随葬品中曾经长期使用,但本身却无实用价值的器物,其存在暗示陶寺时期已有用于祭祀先祖的仪式.
Abstract
According to the form of the objects,the production techniques,decorative skills,and the traces of usage,the various types of funerary objects found in the Taosi burial site can be divid-ed into spiritual objects,actually used items,and sacrificial utensils.The differences between the spiritual objects and similar objects used in daily life reflect the reconstruction and transformation of the real world in the funeral context.The actually used objects mainly include adornments and tools used by the tomb owners during their lifetime.In the burials of the rulers,the actually used items were not actually used by the rulers when they were alive,for those items would continue to be used for political symbolism after the rulers died.The presence of sacrificial utensils,which had been used before as daily utensils yet were outdated upon the time of being buried,implies that cer-tain rituals for ancestral worship may have already come into being during the Taosi period.
