二里头文化向南方的传播

The Southward Diffusion of Erlitou Culture

长江流域及以南地区发现二里头文化遗存的地点可分为九个区。分析这些遗存的年代、文化性质及分区可知二里头文化南传的路线和时间,而传播方式在不同时期和背景下有所区别。二里头文化的南传开启了南方地区古代文化宏观上伴随中原地区文化变迁的新阶段,南方地区也以此纳入了以中原地区为主体的历史体系。

There have been several dozens of localities bearing remains related to Erlitou Culture found to date in the Yangtze River Valley or to its south. These remains can be divided into nine zones. By analyzing the dates, cultural natures and zonings of these remains, we can outline the routes and dates of the southward diffusion of Erlitou Culture; however, the diffusion methods varied according to the times and backgrounds of their taking place. The southward diffusion of Erlitou Culture started the new stage for the archaic cultures in South China to follow the rhythms of the evolutions of the cultures in the Central Plains in macroscopic or overall views, and for the southern regions to be included into the historie system of China centered by the Central Plains.
