摘　　要：毓祖丁卣,是殷代典型的青铜酒器,其铭文内容揭示了殷周历史文化延续发展的重要线索。铭文中的“多高■”,为祖先的合称;■族之“山”为作器者,故此器当更名为山卣;西周金文“严在上,翼在下”的含义,可据山卣铭文之“廙”,重新理解为“祖先威严在天,庇护子孙安居于下”,更符合周人用此语祈求祖先将福祉降临人间的行为。The bronze vessel of‘Yu Zuding You’(‘毓祖丁卣’in Chinese characters;Yu Zuding You in Chinese pinyin),a typical wine container of the Yin dynasty,bears the inscription that offers a sight into the Western-Zhou Dynasty inheriting and carrying forward the system of the Yin Dynasty in culture and history.The re-interpretation to such embodied characters suggests that‘多高■’(Duo gao■)stands for a collective address for ancestors,‘山’(Shan)from the‘■clan’by origin refers to the maker of the bronze vessel.So,in the logical way,‘Shan You(山卣)’should be used to name the ware.The message that literally reads‘dignity(严)is above,wing(翼)is down’actually implies‘the dignified forefathers in the heaven are always protecting their descendants to live in peace’,which accords with what‘廙’(yi)is defined in the context of the inscription on‘Shan You(山卣)’bronze vessel as well as the conventional manner of the Zhou people praying to their ancestors this way.
