【摘要】："商"是中国第二王朝的名称,然其本义一直没有很好的说解。最早的"商"字是由两部分组成的,上部是刃部朝上的钺,下部是祭几,整字所描绘的是刃部朝上的钺放置于祭几之上的礼仪场合。通过与欧亚草原的斯基泰、匈奴等族群对青铜短剑及战神的崇拜进行类比,可知商人的这种礼仪很可能用于祭祀以钺为化身的战神。晚商甲骨文的用例证明"商"的本义是地名,是商人对都城的称呼。商人用战神崇拜的礼仪来会意商人的居地,显示造字之时军权已非常重要。商人之所以用"商"来称呼自己的族群和政权,是因为商人在很长时间内以商地为都城。
[Abstract]:"Shang" is the name of the second dynasty in China, but its original meaning has not been well explained. The earliest word "Shang" was composed of two parts. The whole character depicts a ceremonial occasion in which the blade is placed on top of the sacrificial point. By analogy with the worship of the bronze dagger and the god of war by the Skeetai and Xiongnu ethnic groups in the Eurasian steppe, It can be seen that this etiquette of merchants is likely to be used to worship the god of war embodied by the Yue. The use case of the late Shang oracle proves that the original meaning of "Shang" is a place of name and is the name of the merchant to the capital city. The merchant uses the rites of worship of the god of war to understand the residence of the merchant. The reason why merchants refer to their ethnic groups and political power by "Shang" is because the merchants used Shang land as the capital for a long time.
