纵论辽河文明的文化内涵与辽海文化的关系

On the Relationship between the Cultural Connotation of the Liaohe River Civilization and Liaohai Culture

文章从"辽河文明"的释义出发,从自然生态资源、多元经济形态、人类文明起源、区域民族文化和社会人文艺术等五个主要方面,阐述了"辽河文明"的独特地域文化内涵。认为"辽河文明"的命名,是基于历史考古学和文化人类学,其本质特征是"文化特质"和"文脉基础"。而"辽海文化"的命名,则是基于地域文化学、人文地理学和方志学,其本质特征是"文化符号"和"文化表征"。二者的关系,不应当是如有些学者认为存在"非此即彼"的排他性,而是以辽河为"圆心",互为表里的姊妹文化关系。辽河文明与辽海文化,就如同"黄河文明"与"齐鲁文化"的关系一样。由此提出"辽河文明"是"辽海文化"文脉基础的论见。

This paper starts with the interpretation of ＂the Liaohe River civilization＂, expounds the unique geographical and cultural connotations of ＂the Liaohe River civilization＂ from five perspectives, namely natural resources, diversified economic pattern, the origins of human civilization, regional ethnic culture and social arts. It points out that the name of ＂the Liaohe River Civilization＂, is based on the historical archaeology and cultural anthropology, and the essential characteristics of the naming are ＂cultural traits＇and ＂cultural foundation＂. The naming of ＂Liaohai Culture＂, whose essential characteristics are ＂cultural symbols＇and ＂cultural characterization,＂is on the basis of regional culture studies, human geography, and chorography. The relationship between them, should not be, as some scholars think,＂either/or＇exclusive, but as sister cultures with the Liaohe River as their common centre, just like the relationship between ＂the Yellow River Civilization＂ and the＂Qilu Culture＂.
