天命與聖德祖先獲得王權合法性的內在關聯，使得「奠系世」成為歷代王權意識形態建構的核心神話編碼。商用以降莫系世主要由降為主官的工史承擔。儒道思想的開創者老、孔均是掌握著述作技能的聖人、史者和禮儀專家。然而文獻關於工史身份撲朔迷離。本文用神話歷史和考古學視野，從商周金文中史官命賜用事的核心象徵物蔥衡、玉瑹、旂鈴入手，參照考古實物，追蹤「工史」如何「書世」，考察史典禮間的深層關係，藉以揭示神聖禮儀作為文化基因（文化擬子）怎樣型構了歷史書寫和政權合法性的內在編碼機制，從而為儒道思想與巫文化的深層關聯提供一個分析案例。

The internal relationship between the God's Will and Virtue-forefather's legitimacy of kingship, which makes recouting Ancestry become the core mythical coding of ideology construction in each Dynasty.
