新石器时代遗址出土葡萄种子引起的思考

地处长江下游的浙江省最近几年在新石器时代晚期的遗址中出土了许多葡萄种子,表明距今5000年左右,我国南方先民已经食用葡萄,不亚于欧洲的使用葡萄历史；历史文献中也记载,在欧洲葡萄传入我国之前,我国居民已经普遍把葡萄作为水果食用。各种迹象显示我国可能有本土葡萄的驯化栽培历史。文章对中国的野生葡萄为什么没有进一步驯化成象西方那样的优良食用和酿酒用的品种?中国原有的野生葡萄资源有无驯化培育为栽培种的可能等问题进行了讨论。

Recently, a lot of grape seeds were fouad in the archaeological sites, dated about 5000 years age, located in Zhejiang province in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, indicated that gapes were used for food in Southern China have a long history, not be more inferior than European grape history. To use grapes for fruit generally, was also recorded in historical documenu before European grape was introduced into China, These suggested that there may be the domestication history of homeland grape in China. Why had wild grapes in China not been domestied like Europe to quality varieties for food and making wine ？ Whether could wild grapes in China be domesticated to cultivated grapes ？ Those problems were disctssed in the paper.
