武陵黔东——中华及其贵州文明的发祥地

East Guizhou in Wuling District——Birthplace of the Civilization of China and Guizhou

贵州黔东古为荆楚黔中,属湘、黔、鄂、渝、桂五省(市)边境内的武陵地区。武陵山脉的主峰梵净山就坐落在黔东的印江、江口和松桃三县交界处。发源于瓮安的舞水和发源于都匀斗篷山的清水江等大小川流由西向东经黔东而出湖南汇入"古沅水",最后注入洞庭湖。洞庭湖及其西南广大地区,即武陵"五溪"地域,是中华文明的发祥地,是贵州文明文化的最早源头。特别是原属湖南会同的天柱、锦屏是七千年前的炎帝神农之故里,是伏羲、少暤、颛顼、吴回和共工等古代帝王和英雄豪杰的最早家园;是中华龙凤文化、白陶文化、中华天文历法、中华易学、中华文字和冷兵器等的原发地。
