略论西水坡仰韶早期遗存的文化面貌与社会性质

A Brief Study on the Cultural Face of the Early Yangshao Period Remains at Xishuipo and the Social Nature Reflectd by Them

自20世纪80年代末濮阳西水坡遗址发现以来,围绕仰韶文化社会性质、龙的起源以及中国文明起源的讨论便一直不断,但是关于遗址内后冈一期文化遗存的研究则较为薄弱。西水坡后冈一期文化可以分为四期,绝对年代约为4600B.C.~3900B.C.,从房屋建筑、埋葬习俗、陶器特征及组合和生产工具四个方面反映出其稳定而又独特的文化面貌与社会性质,即西水坡居民仍处于相对平等的社会发展阶段,氏族成员以血缘关系为纽带,聚族而居,聚族而葬。

Discussions on the social nature of the Yangshao culture and the origins of the dragon and Chinese civilization based on the Xishuipo site since its discovery in the late 1980 s. However, research on the remains of the Hougang Ⅰ culture is still lacking. The Hougang Ⅰ culture can be divided into four phases ranging from 4600 B.C.to 3900 B.C..Its buildings, burial customs, pottery and tools suggest an unique cultural face and an relatively egalitarian society, in which the members lived together and buried in the same area by blood.
