摘要
This article considers that the bronzes (four Ding tripods and five Gui containers) unearthed from Yanjiagou site in Ganquan County, Shaanxi Province indicate a partial tendency of food culture in the Western Zhou. In comparison to those food-serving bronzes from Anyang and Baoji District, the author points out that the food-favoured tendency reflected in the Yanjiagou bronzes was originated from the predynastic-Zhou culture in the Guanzhong area. In combining with other archaeological data, the author further considers that the "arranged-ding system" prevailed in the Western Zhou started as early as the Late Shang Dynasty. Therefore, the food-partial culture began in the Late Shang rather than in the early Western Zhou. But, it has also to be emphasized that the arranged-ding system in the mortuary practice during the Late Shang was still in the developing stage, and its content and format had not been regulated yet. In any case, this archaeological data provide important information to the study of the arranged-ding system in the Western Zhou.
