Abstract

We know there remain the statues of man made of nephrite in the Western Chou period as illustrated in the picture No. 1 to No. 5 on the first page of this number and in the figure No. 1 to No. 5. The costumes on these statues have some characteristics which we cannot find in the statues after the Spring and Autumn period 春秋時代; that is, for example, a square collar, a hem edged widely and straightly and cut into squarely. In the first chapter, I would like to show these costumes were the original forms of the mourning dress 喪服 and Shen-i 深衣 described in li chi 礼記. Thereafter, in the early Han 漢 period, only incomplete comments could be made on the rule of these costumes. In the second chapter, I would like to show an ax-formed thing hanging over the statue's knee was the old form of fu 市. Later, in the complementary article I will investigate minutely the words about the color and the material of fu which remain on the bronze tablets of the Western Chou period. In the third chapter, I would like to show the thing like a horn on the statue's head as illustrated in the figure No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 was Mao 髦 that, li chi says, a son wore when he discharged his duties to his parents, and further investigate the original meaning of the filial son's wearing such a thing.
