移民文化与区域创新——以苏州与上海为例

Interplay between Regional Culture,Immigration,and Creation as Seen in Suzhou and Shanghai

全球一体化是一个世界性的潮流,在这个潮流中,文化的一体化与多元化恰是一个互动的两极,在碰撞与吸纳中相互促进,相互包容,最终迈向和而不同、美美与共的大同境界。而这种一体与多元的文化生成局面,在中国历史上就曾多次发生。多元的文化起源形成了中国远古时代不同的区域文化,而远古直到春秋、战国,以至后来中国历史上的多次民族大移民,不仅促进了中国多民族的融合,也形成了目前各地不同的区域文化。移民作为一个敢于离乡背景、挑战一个陌生的未知世界的文化栽体,具有一种开拓与拼博的精神,含有创新的文化基因。正是移民的这种开拓与创新的文化基因,使得中国很多落后地区因移民带来的活力而后来居上,成为创新力最强、文化与社会发展最快的地区。苏州与上海可谓典型。

Globalization is a world-wide tendency, in which the cultural unification and pluralism are just the two opposing yet interactive poles. Through collision and absorption they promote and contain mutually, and finally enter into a harmonious though but different , shared state. Chinese history has recurrently witnessed such a cultural phenomenon brought about by unification and pluralism. Several national immigration in Chinese history, from the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Periods up to now, not only promoted the merge of different cultures, but formed the different regional cultures. The immigrants who represented regional culture of one kind or another left their hometown to meet the challenges from a completely strange and unknown world. Obviously, they possessed the pioneering and struggling spirit as well as a creative gene for new cultural development. This brought vitality to many less-developed areas of China and quickened the development of these areas, both socially and culturally. The typical areas are Suzhou and Shanghai.
