1965年冬,在湖北省江陵县楚故都纪南城西北七公里处发掘了望山一号楚墓,出土了大量文物。其中有为墓主(邵心)固筮占和祭祀记录的竹简(简文约千字左右);有彩绘木雕小座屏;有大型错金银的铁带钩等文物共达六百多件。举世闻名的“越王勾践”青铜剑,就是出自这座墓中。(见初中《中国历史》第一册的彩色插图“越王勾践剑”) 为便于介绍有关剑的知识和上述发掘的越王勾践剑,先简略介绍一下有关剑的各部名称。 In the winter of 1965, the Chu Tombs of Wangshan No. 1 were unearthed at a depth of seven kilometers northwest of Ji Nancheng, an ancient capital of Chu in the capital of Jiangling County, Hubei Province. Many cultural relics were unearthed. Among them are bamboo slips (about a thousand words or so) held by the tomb masters (Shao Xin) and sacrificial records; there are painted wood carvings; there are more than 600 pieces of cultural relics . The world-famous “Ganyu Gokun” bronze sword, is from this tomb. (See the color illustration “The Yue King Gou Jian” in the first volume of the “History of China” in junior high school.) In order to introduce the knowledge of the sword and the Yue King Gou Jian mentioned above, we briefly introduce the names of the ministries involved in the sword.
