石器时代环南海地区的文化互动

Cultural Interaction around South China Sea in the Stone Age

石器时代,环南海地区的文化互动延续时间很长。旧石器时代出现零星交流,新石器时代早期发生少量远距离间接往来。到新石器时代中期,大陆沿海相邻区域的文化互动频繁发生,出现了跨越台湾海峡的文化互动。到新石器时代晚期,更进一步发展为大规模的文化传播,而且大都以中国东南沿海为策源地,通过大陆沿海和海岛两条线路自北而南逐次传播,并在印尼群岛会合。这种文化互动伴随着大量的人群迁徙,对本区域后世的历史、文化产生了深远影响。

By tracing some special cultural relics,we can know that the cultural interaction along South China Sea in Stone Age lasted very long time. The interaction appeared sporadically in Paleolithic Age. There were interaction occasionally and indirectly in long distances in early Neolithic Age. Till Middle Neolithic Age,the interaction between adjacent areas in coastal areas of the mainland occurred frequently,and even across the Taiwan Strait. In late Neolithic Age,massive cultural diffusion arose. The southeast coastal area in China become center of cultural diffusion,and the culture spread successively from north to south by two lines of coast and islands,and then joined in the Indonesian islands. This cultural interaction,accompanied by a large number of people migration,produced a profound impact on later history and culture in this region.
