本文旨在探討春秋金文「某之孫，某之子」相關句式及問題。藉由文例的爬梳，以及社會背景的探究，思考造成此類句式出現的社會原因。 　　「某之孫，某之子」句式的起源可能在江淮流域一帶，而除了「某之孫，某之子」句式外，尚有「某之孫」、「某之子」單獨句式。然從興起時間點與流行過程，發現彼此並沒有相承關係。本文發現這類句式擴散力較強，推測有較大的流行背景。尤其從春秋中期開始逐漸流行，並擴及原屬姬周文化圈的齊國、曾國。由於此類句式並非侷限於南方，而是同時流行於華夏與邊裔族群之間，加上春秋晚期主要流行「某之孫」及「某之孫，某之子」句式，而「某之子」始終稀少，反映春秋時期某種特殊述祖心態的形成。 　　本文主張此類句式出現的背景，是族群交融與揚己風氣的結合。理由之一是出現此類句式者，仍以南方青銅器銘文為大宗，而邊裔族群承襲西周銘文的述祖觀念，也同時能展現其欲加入華夏政治秩序的企圖。另一個理由則是，春秋時期的存在宣揚己身的風氣，而此種風氣是器主欲藉顯赫的氏族歷史，彰顯個人生命的價值與功績。綜上所述，「某之孫，某之子」相關句式雖然例證不多，但極為特殊。而隨著出土銘文的新增，可以發現其出現與流行的契機，可能有著多重因素，甚至涉及邊裔與華夏族群交流的過程，提供另一種文例研究的思考與視野。

　　This study investigates the syntactic pattern “X’s grandson, Y’s son” found in Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn period bronze inscriptions, focusing on its structure, distribution, and social significance. In addition to the compound form, the independent patterns “X’s grandson” and “Y’s son” also appear. However, analysis of their chronological emergence and regional prevalence suggests that these forms did not evolve linearly from one another. 　　The “X’s grandson, Y’s son” structure likely originated in the Jianghuai region and gained wider currency from the mid-Spring and Autumn period, spreading into states such as Qi and Zeng within the Zhou cultural sphere. Its adoption across both Huaxia and peripheral groups indicates a broader cultural diffusion rather than a purely regional phenomenon. Notably, “X’s grandson” and the compound form became increasingly common in the late Spring and Autumn period, while “Y’s son” remained rare, pointing to a particular emphasis on ancestral lineage traced through grandparentage. 　　This paper argues that the development of these patterns reflects two major social dynamics: ethnic integration and the rise of self-assertive ideology. Many examples come from southern inscriptions, suggesting that peripheral elites—while inheriting ancestral commemorative traditions from the Western Zhou—also sought to align themselves with the Huaxia political and cultural order. Simultaneously, the growing emphasis on personal merit in the Spring and Autumn period encouraged individuals to use prestigious ancestral connections to elevate their own status and legacy. 　　Though relatively rare, the “X’s grandson, Y’s son” structure reveals a unique intersection of genealogy, identity, and political aspiration. Its emergence likely stemmed from multiple converging factors, including regional interaction and evolving conceptions of lineage. These findings contribute to a broader understanding of early Chinese epigraphy and the role of inscriptional language in constructing social identity.
