殷墟时期,随着殷商周边文化掌握青铜兵器的铸造,迫使商人的势力逐渐向中原退缩,尤其是西面和南面,产生了不同于殷商文化的地方类型文化。周边地区同时受商文化影响,但在祭祀上与殷商的祭祀模式不同,洞庭湖周边以大铙为特色的古越族祭祀文化尤为突出。这是祭祀山水的模式,以祈求天降雨水,保证丰产。 During the Yin Ruins, as the culture around the Shang merchants mastered the casting of bronze weapons, they forced the merchants’ forces to retreat gradually to the Central Plains, especially the west and south, creating local-type cultures different from the Shang culture. The surrounding areas are also affected by the commercial culture, but sacrificial offering is different from sacrificial offering mode of Shang dynasty. The ancient Yue people worship culture which is characterized by big 周 around Dongting Lake is especially prominent. This is a sacrificial landscape pattern, in order to pray for precipitation, to ensure high yield.
