大明山:壮族文明的重要发源地

Daming Mountain——An Important Place of Origin of Zhuang Civilization

在《山海经.大荒南经》关于大明山古为"氾天之山"和《淮南子.地形训》把赤水(红水河)视为帝之神泉的记载中,透露了大明山在壮族先民心目中可能是一座神山天梯的信息。考古发掘也印证了大明山周围一带是壮族文明的重要发源地。大明山所处的特殊地理位置也有条件成为壮族文明的重要发源地。

Some Chinese Classics record that Darning Mountain is no less than a ＂mountain up to the sky＂ and Red Water （ Hongshui River） God＇s holy spring, which suggests that Darning Mountain used to be worshipped as a mountain of God and a Ladder Leading to Heaven by the Zhuang ancestors. In addition, archaeological studies and unearths witness the neighborhood of Darning Mountain as an important place of Zhuang civilization thanks to its particular location.
