歷來考述嬴秦之始源，諸說雜沓紛歧，主要不外以下三說：一、東來說，云秦源於山東及其附近的東夷族；二、西來說，言秦本出於西北方甘肅一帶的戎族；三、起於北方等主張。若擬推溯秦始源，根本之道在於深掘尋索先世之帝的神話傳說活動紀錄，以推測該族群源起方位。赢秦先世之帝，西漢司馬遷《史記‧秦本紀》開宗明義云：「秦之先，帝顓頊之苗裔孫曰女脩」，且陜西鳳翔秦公一號大墓出土殘磬銘文亦明示：「高陽有靈，四方為鼎平」。根據以上傳統文獻與出土銘文雙重論證，秦先世之帝為顓頊殆無疑義。唯金專研赢秦之起源者，雖如蒼穹繁星，然息尚未見以秦先世之帝顓頊為研究對象而深入探源者。故本文嘗試以顓頊神話傳說為主，試圖推論出赢秦之起源。顓頊與黃帝關係密切，乃繼東夷族少昊而登帝。而顓頊早期的活動範圍，若非在四川、山東，則在河南等地。又顓頊命重、黎「絕地天通」神話，或即東夷族集團中顓頊平蚩尤的戰爭。且《山海經》載述顓頊之國、顓頊之子均以食黍為主。從以上顓頊神話傳說，顯見赢秦一族當源於東土。 Throughout the ages stated the Ying Qin 赢秦to origin various says the disorderly divergence，mainly nothing more than below three says：First，east，Qin 秦came from the Dongyi race 東夷族neighboring the area of Shandong 三東；Second,west,Qin 秦was from the Rung race 戎族in Northwest Gansu 甘肅；Third，resulted from north， and so on the positions. However if we plan to infer traces origin the Qin 秦，the basic road is inquiring into source of its first ancestor. Thoroughly explore myth of fable in this first ancestor activation record，namely can extrapoiate position of approximately this race origin. Also Western Han Dynasty 西漢〝Shihchi-Qinbenji〞《史記‧秦本紀》by Sima Qian 司馬遷stated the purpose from the very beginning “Qin秦 frist ancestor Zhuanxu 顓頊，his grandson the progeny of Miao 苗 was called Nuxiu 女脩”，also Qin Gong 秦公a big grave unearthed remnant Qing磬 engraved inscription from Shanxi 陜西Fengxiang鳳翔，and demonstrated “Gaoyang高陽 had mystical powers， and pacified all over the country.”According to both above traditional literature and the unearthed engraved inscription records， concededly frist ancestor of the Qin秦 is Zhuanxu顓頊.Up to the present，savants have researched the origin of Qin秦，although like stars in the sky，regrettably have not seen first ancestor of Zhuanxu顓頊 as the object of study in order to seek the origin of Qin 秦. Therefore this article attempts by the秦 first ancestor Zhuanxu顓頊 myth fable primarily，try to inquire into deduces origin the Ying Qin赢秦.Zhuanxu顓頊 related closely with Huangdi皇帝 ，he came to the throne of the Dongyi race 東夷族 since Shaohao 少昊 had laied down the sceptre. If not eatly time sphere of action in Sichuan 四川，Shandong 山東，then in Henan 河南.Also the myth about Zhuanxu commanded Chong重 and Li黎to “cut off the contact from earth to sky”，this armed conflict was likely to break out between Chiyu蚩尤 and Zhuanxu of the the Dongyi race 東夷族.And Shanhaijing《山海經》 recorded the country of Zhuanxu顓頊 and his children all by the food millet primarily.From above myth fable about Zhuanxu顓頊,obviously Ying Qin赢秦 should come from the east of China.
