试析中世纪早期沃尔霍夫河流域的拉多加文明

Ladoga Civilization in the Area of the Vorkhov River in the Early Days of the Middle Ages

近年来,随着俄罗斯学术界对俄罗斯文化起源问题的探究,俄罗斯西北部地区的文化特征越来越受到学术界的重视。沃尔霍夫河位于欧俄的西北部,中世纪早期该水系曾加入南北贸易的大水路通道之中,成为东欧西北部地区海运(波罗的海)转河运所最先涉足的水域。可以说,沃尔霍夫河独特的地理位置使波罗的海文化世界和大陆文化世界在此交汇。而拉多加城位于沃尔霍夫河注入拉多加湖的河口处,可以看成是两个文化世界的交汇之点。中世纪的拉多加城凭借着自身相对发达的生产实践、突出的文化表现等优势,成为沃尔霍夫河流域早期文明中的一个有代表性的点。

In recent years, with investigation of the questions of Russian cultural origin, the cultural characteristics of the northwest part of Russia have been given more and more attention. The Vorkhov river lie in the northwest part of European Russia. The water system in the early days of the Middle Ages joined the trade channel between the south and north. It may be said that the specific geographic position of the Vorkhov river made the Baltic culture join the continent culture. And Ladoga city is located where the Vorkhov and the Ladoga lake meet. Ladoga city in the Middle Ages was a representative point in the early civilization of the area of the Vorkhov river.
