铜绿山与盘龙城及中国早期青铜文明之关系

以铜绿山为代表的一大批古矿冶遗址的发现，证明长江中下游地区的铜矿资源最迟于商代即得到开采、冶炼，历两周至秦汉，前后延续有一千多年，几乎伴随着中国青铜文明的整个历程。盘龙城遗址是商王室统治南方的区域中心，除了政治、军事上的作用之外，还起着获取南方丰富的矿料资源，并以此作为加工、中转基地，不断输往中原商王室的重要职能；盘龙城商文化的兴起、发展，与铜绿山等地铜矿资源的采冶具有密切的内在联系。

Study on Mt. Tonglu Site,Panlongcheng Site and Bronze Civilization in Early China

The discovery of the ancient sites of mining and metallurgy in Mt. Tonglu and other places distrib- uted in the Middle and Lower Reaches Area of Yangtze River has proved that the copper mine of this area was exploited and smelted no later than Shang Dynasty, and then lasted more than one thousand years, through- out the shining evolution course of Chinese bronze civilization in Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties. Pan- longcheng Site was the regional center of Shang＇s southern territory. Besides its political and military func- tions, the other one acted as a process and transit base to obtain abundant mine sources from the south, and then transported them to the north. The rising and development of Shang culture of Panlongcheng Site has had the close relationship with the mining and smelting of the copper mine in Mt. Tonglu as well as other similar places in the south.
