盘龙城与长江中游的青铜文明

The Panlongcheng Site and the Bronze Civilization in the Middle Reach of the Yangtze River

长江中游的青铜文明始于湖北黄陂的盘龙城。丰富的考古发现表明盘龙城是长江流域早期青铜文明的一个区域性中心，受其影响和刺激，长江中游的广阔区域以不同方式进入了青铜时代，盘龙城因此成为我们认识和理解长江中游青铜文明的关键。以盘龙城为中心，联系与盘龙城有关联的江西新干大墓、吴城遗址，以及长江中游沿岸其他商时期的遗址，可以进一步揭示出长江中游青铜文明的面貌。

The bronze civilization originated at the Panlongcheng Site in Huangpi, Hubei; influenced and animated by it, the vast area in the middle reach of the Yangtze River entered the Bronze Age in various ways. Observing the remains of the Shang Dynasty in the middle reach of the Yangtze River centered by the Panlongcheng Site in the aspects of knowledge system and value system, we can see that the bronze culture represented by the Panlongcheng Site consisted with the Shang Culture at Erligang Site, but the Wucheng Culture represented by Wucheng Site and the large tombs at Xingan County were different from the Shang Culture. To understand and make clear the south border of the Shang Culture, more data and multiple methods and theories are needed.
