论原始五行与四时的整合

Integration of Primitive Wuxing and Four Seasons

商、周两族群是上古华夏族的主干。早期的商族群以渔猎-畜牧生产为主,崇尚四方,经过长期发展,形成了以原始五行为代表的传统文化;周族群是一个典型的农业部落,重视四时,素有依据时令交替安排生产和日常生活的习俗。战国中期以后,各地域、各族群之间的文化交流与融合不断加深,以五行、四时为代表的两种传统文化也随之开始了整合进程。

Shang and Zhou,as two ethnic groups,were the backbone of ancient Huaxia.As a fishing and hunting tribe in the early times,Shang developed livestock production and advocated the four directions.Through long-term development,it formed the traditional culture of Wuxing.The ethnic group of Zhou was a typical agricultural tribe.They attached importance to four seasons,known for their arrangements for production and daily life practices on the basis of seasonal alternations.After the middle period of Warring States（475-221B.C.）,the cultural exchange and integration between different ethnic groups and regions deepened continually.As a part of the course,primitive Wuxing and four seasons began the integration process.
