读《商代都邑》浅识

A Review of Shang Dai Du Yi(Capital Cities in Shang Dynasty)

春花飘香，得挚友王震中先生相赠新著《商代都邑》，不胜欣喜!细细掂量，篇幅宏大，分量不轻；匆匆翻过，满目珠玑，心旷神怡。遂每日抽暇读上几页，写下几笔，整理后聊充读书心得，愿与同好分享。

Shang Dai Du Yi （Capital Cities in Shang Dynasty） is a work on the history of the evolution of the capital cities of the Shang Dynasty with the most complete data, the most detailed diseussion and the most meticulous system seen to date and independent opinions and plain study style. The publishing of this work is an important academic achievement of the archaeological and historic studies on the Shang Dynasty. The author fully utilized the advantage of the organic integration of archaeology and history, broke the barrier between the archaeologists and historians, handled the temporal and spatial frames of the historic studies, trimmed the myriad and scattered archaeological materials into tidy data through constructing the chronological and typological systems of the Shang Culture. The author is good at using the research results of the archaeologists, but this using is not accepting uncritically but with careful analyses, independent evaluations and innovations.
