由模糊到清晰——历史时期对红水河流域地理认识的演进

From Blur to Being in Focus——On the Development of the Realization about the Red River in Historical Period

红水河在历史时期有多种称谓。本文认为,一方面,其名称的演变,实际上反映了中原人士对红水河流域地理环境的认识,有一个由模糊到清晰的演进过程。另一方面,红水河名称的最终确定,又与流域所经的滇东、黔西南与桂西北三省交界地区人类活动导致的环境变迁有着极为密切的关系。

The Red River is regarded as a mother river by Zhuang nationality. It has different names in historical period. In my paper, I think its name＇s changes are not only related with the people who lived in Zhong Yuan area, Who had not realized the environment fully, but also closely with the change of environment caused by people＇s action, in the east part of Yunnan, the southwest part of Guizhou and the northwest part of Guangxi where the Red River pass through.
