包容性强·本色厚重·源远流长——湘东文化特点论说

Inclusiveness and Massiness with a Long History——An Analysis of Cultural Features in Eastern Hunan

湘东文化有三个明显的特点:一是异质包容性强,这也是一种移民文化的特色,在湘东这块古老的土地上,许多外来文化因素在这块共同的地域内流传,并被相互包容,共同拥有和对比参照;二是文化本色厚重,在这里,儒家书院续千年学府,宗教寺庙现星罗棋布,茶陵诗派成一代风流;三是传承源远流长,基本上与中华文明共生存,其中最具代表性的就是炎帝或神农文化。

The Eastern Hunan culture embraces three distinctive features. The first is its strong inclusiveness toward heterogeneous cultures, which is also treated as a characteristic of the migrant culture. In Eastern Hunan, many external cultures are widely spread, mutually penetrated and contrasted. The second is its massiness. In this region, it is dotted with temples. Moreover, it is famous for a Confucian Academy and a branch of poems in Chaling County. The third is its long history. It is basically as long as Chinese civilization, in which the most representative is Yah Emperor Culture.
