摘　　要：在日本冲之岛发现23个祭祀遗址,可分"岩上"、"岩阴"、"半岩阴半露天"、"露天"4类型,年代约为4世纪中叶至9世纪后期。祭祀由当时日本的中央政权主持,当地豪族宗像氏参与,目的在于向统管此海域的女神祈求航海的平安。古代日本与中国交往频繁,这在冲之岛祭祀遗址出土的许多供品上都有反映。Okinoshima is an island with rolling hills and lofty rocks, isolated in the sea north of the Munakata area in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. From 1954 to 1971, 23 ritual sites were discovered through ten times of survey and excavation in three periods. According to their difference in location and terrain, they can be divided into four types, i.e. the ritual sites on huge rocks, those under the ledge of huge rocks, those partly under the ledge of huge rocks and partly in the open air, and those in the open air, which form a successive sequence in the above order and date about the mid fourth century to the late ninth century. The ritual activities were directed by the then central government of Japan with the local wealthy and influential Munakata clan taking part in, and aimed at praying to the goddesses dominating this sea area for peaceful navigation. The numerous excellent precious offerings unearthed from the sites distinctly reflect frequent exchanges of ancient Japan with China through maritime communications.
