A Synthetic Study on the Cultual Development of the Ancient Izumo--On an Erea of the Lower Hii River--

最近在松江市冈山山遗址发现的大量弥生时代的各种青铜器和剑上的铭文，引起了人们对古代出云文化背景的关注。综合运用地质、地理、考古、古生物、社会学、民俗学等多种调查方法，对西出云地区古代地域性历史的发展进行综合阐述。虽然对出云西部地区的历史意义没有得到充分的解释，但该地区有很多著名的遗迹，包括主宰出云地区的大神“井月野八郎神社”。而众所周知，西出云在该地区古代历史发展中处于两极地位。要解决的第一个问题是给Izum的发展过程和时代……更简单。地理和地质调查小组报告说，平原的框架在弥生时代已经形成，随后，不断发生轻微的变化，如Hii-Kawa河的路线偏离和小的海侵，平原在现代上半叶成长为现在的状态。第二个问题是，这些变化如何与发展的历史相一致。考古和古生物研究小组认为，弥生时代下半叶是发展的第一个时代，出云西部地区则形成了一些政治组织集团。第二个时代从6世纪延伸到7世纪，其发展也可能与Kando-no-Omi家族主导的耕地扩张有关。第三次开发大约从10世纪下半叶到12世纪，被认为是最大的开发，与关东湖的萎缩同时发生，这几乎切断了与公海的所有联系。第三个问题应该与宗教思想或神秘有关，宗教思想或神秘讲述了当地的沧桑故事。教区神龛制度的建立，以及对政治、经济和宗教权力的完全控制的木月野八郎神权，对宗教史的形成起到了决定性的作用。少

A large amount of various Yayoi bronze ware from the ruins of Kojindani dale in Hikawa-Cho and the recent detection of inscriptions on a sword from Mt. Okadayama tumulus in Matsue City have drawn fresh attention toward the cultural background of the ancient Izumo.Mobilizing geological, geographical, archaelogical, paleological, sociological and folkloric investigations, this synthetic research is primarily intended to get a comprehensive elucidation of the development of the ancient regional history of Western Izumo.Though the clarifying explication as to the historical significance of the western area of Izumo has not been given sufficiently, the area is crowded with notable ruins including Kizuki-no-Oyashiro Shrine, the chief god who has dominated the Izumo district. And it is generally known that Western Izumo stood as the opposite pole in the ancient historical development of the district.The first fuestion to be taken is to gind the process and epoch of the development of the Izum … More o plain. The groups of geographical and geological surveys report that the framework of the plain had taken shape by the Yayoi Period, and, subsequently repeating slight changes such as deviations of the course of the Hii-Kawa River and small transgressions, the plain grew up to be the present state at the first half of the modern ages.The second question arises as to how these changes correspond with the history of the develop-ment. The groups of archaelogical and paleological researches conclude that the first epoch of the development lay on the latter half of the Yayoi Period, while in the western area of Izumo, some group of political organization came into being. The second epoch extended from the 6th to the 7th century, and the development may also be tied up with the expansion of the arable land as led by the Kando-no-Omi family. The third development approximately from the latter half of the 10th century to the 12th is supposed to be the greatest exploitation coincident with the retrenchment of the Kando lake, which severed almost all the connection with the open sea.The third question should be concerned with religious thought or mystery which has told the story of local vicissitudes. And it would be concluded that the establishment of the Parish shrine system, the theocracy of Kizuki-no-Oyashiro which assumed the complete control of political, economic and religious power gave decisive force for the formation of the religious history.
