摘　　要：在中国青铜时代的王都、诸侯国的都城遗址或区域中心,有大量的铸铜祭祀遗存被发现。以往对铸铜祭祀的功能分析多是基于后世文献的相关记载,认为"女性投炉"是确保铸铜能够顺利进行的一种成物祈求。然而从仪式化生产的角度来看,这一时期铸铜祭祀的成物祈求作用并不突出,铸铜祭祀本身可能和铸铜技术一样,作为重要的知识体系为统治阶层所掌控,成为其权力控制的一种方式。Alarge number of ritual remains have been found in the bronze production workshops,especially those located in the capital sites of Chinese Bronze Age dynasties or in the regional center.In the past,the analysis of these remains was mostly based on the document records from Wu Di Ji and other later literature which believed that “women jumping into the furnace” as a prayer was to ensure the success of copper casting.By reanalyzing the archaeological ritual remains in these workshops,this paper proposes that bronze wares production itself may be a kind of ritualized production.Belonging to an important knowledge system,ritual in bronze wares production,as well as bronze technology,was controlled by the ruling class strictly and became a way of power control.
