濮是我國古代一種民族的名稱。由於時代、地區的不同而有許多不同的寫法。藉 由字形相似及讀音的接近，說明他們是同一種人。其次，討論濮人的分布。濮人起源於川 陝之間，主要四川嘉陵江流域－巴地。此後向外發展，自巴地向西跨涪水、岷江至蜀地及蜀 郡以西，再向南至南中，即今雲南境內。由巴地向南至今日之貴州，濮人主要在貴州南部， 此或由雲南之濮東傳而來。由巴地向東為楚西之濮，沿長江向東遷徙。在長江以南，湘西鄱 陽均可見其蹤跡；長江以北，河南、山東皆有濮人停留之蹤。最後探討濮族之源，從濮人所 有的文化內容來看，與上古時的伏羲氏有頗多相似之處，而濮與伏更有語音上的關連，本文 因而推論濮與伏羲的關係。但伏羲屬於傳說中的人物，雖然有學者認為神話傳說中有歷史真 實的成分，本文仍寄望有更多的証據來証明。

　　　　　Chia-ling River嘉陵江which was designated as Pa巴country. At a very early time, the P'u started moving out of the Pa region. Migrating westward, they arrived at the western ends of Szu-ch'uan, Hsi-kang 西康 and Yun-nan 雲南. They later expanded southward and entered Kuei-chou 貴州. Afterwards, they headed back towards the east to western Hu-pei 湖北. Then they folowed the Yangtse River downstream south through western Hu-nan 湖南 and Chiang-hsi 江西 and later continued north through Ho-nan 河南 and Shan-tung 山東.Some cultural traits of the P'u were rather similar to those represented by Fu-hsi 伏羲， who according to legend was the leader of a tribe in ancient China. Since the two characters"P'u" and "Fu" are quite close in pronunciation and the character"P'u"has even been pronounced as "Fu"at certain times, the author concludes that Fu-hsi was somehow related to the P'u. Although Fu-hsi essentiall ybelongs to the tradition of legends that were passed on long before written characters were invented, some scholars believe that there is some historical truth to these myths. However, I find it necessary to wait for further concrete evdence in order to prove hsi existence.
