再论考古学文化区系类型理论在实践中的发展

Further Discussion on the Typical Theories in Archaeological Culture System Developed in Practice

从考古学研究区域文化,影响较大的是由苏秉琦先生提出的考古学文化区系类型理论。这一理论将中国先秦时期人口密集地区分为六大区系,强调各区发展水平相近,相互影响,又以四周向中原汇聚为主导方向。在这一理论指导下开展的中华文明起源和古代中国与世界接轨两大课题,前者视具有东方文化特色的传统礼制起源及其传承为文明起源的主要标志和中华文明连绵不断的根本原因,后者则在将中国古文化归纳为东西格局的前提下,分别与欧亚大陆和环太平洋地区各自的个性及共性进行比较,进而得出"人类文明一元性"的预言。

The most influential theory in Archaeological culture system is the one proposed by Mr.Su Bingqi,who divided the high-density population areas in China prior to Qin Dynasty into 6 large regional systems,emphasized the balanced development in each region and mutual influences on each others with the surrounding assembly towards China Proper.Under the direction of this theory,two projects on the origins of Chinese Civilization and the Integrating China to the world are being carried out,the former takes the oriented origins of the traditional ceremonial systems and its inheritances as its main sign and the reason for the continual development of Chinese Civilization,the latter compares the individuality and generalities between Chinese ancient culture which was concluded into West and East patterns with Eurasia Continents and Circum-Pacifie areas,further realized the prophet of "the Unitary of Human beings'Civilization".
