Investigation and Prediction of the Capital Position of the Wu''s in the Spring and Autumn Period by Means of Remote Sensing
春秋时期吴国都城遗迹位置的遥感调查及预测

Always there are two kinds of viewpoints in the research of distribution of the Wu's capital in spring and autumn period: The historiography circle thinks that king Wu Helu's capital is now in Suzhou, and its understanding stems from "THE BIOGRAPHY OF PLACE WU" that was written by Lu Guangwei of Tang Dynasty. But the archaeological circle thinks that the capital positions of several generations Wu Wang from Shoumeng to Helu are migrated, they mainly lie in the Mudu basin of the west of Suzhou and its understanding stems from "YUEJUE BOOK" and "SPRING AND AUTUMN SUCH AS WU YUE" which were written in Han Dynasty, and from fragmentary archaeological unearthing. Considering the historical and geographical condition for selecting sites of the capital in the Spring and Autumn Periods synthetically,we agree with the view of the archaeological circle. In this paper, geographical investigation and analysis were made in a large area of Suzhou and Tai Hu. And on the base of further researched historical data and forefathers' working achievement, the Wu's capital trace position in the Spring and Autumn is investigated and predicted by means of remote sensing. It will offer reference for the fact that the archaeological circle ascertains and excavates in a planned way.
