本文研究的範圍為「西周銅器銘文」中的「賞賜」,以「器物」和「身分」為詮釋的重點。 本文將賞賜分為「冊命賞賜」和「非冊命賞賜」兩類,以比較二者在器物與身分關係上的差異。由於冊命賞賜較有具體的條例,因此以冊命賞賜為探討的主體。 冊命制度是西周政治運作的重要支柱,由此建構出君臣關係。冊命和封建、賜爵、授官是一個結合在一起的架構,經由冊命,身分能夠確立。 本文探索賞賜制度中的兩個要素:「器物」與「身分」。由此確定西周冊命制度下「物與人」的關係,建立體系。對於「職官、服飾、車馬、鑾旂」有較深入的分析。 在結構上:本文第一章為緒論。第二章匯整傳世古藉(經典)與出土銅器銘文。第三章研究賞賜物,分析賞賜物的時代與等級。第四章研究身分等級,提出不同身分等級和賞賜物的對應關係。第五章為結論。
