“天地之中”与“天下之中”初论

A Preliminary Research on "the Centre of Heaven and Earth" and "the Centre of the World"

洛阳学中的核心思想是"中文化","天地之中"与"天下之中"则是中文化的基础。该文从文献梳理中,对"天地之中"较"天下之中"的历史地理分布进行了排列,反映以洛阳为中心的河洛地区的说法,不仅时间最早,而且文献最多。通过比较,两者不仅有相同点,而且"天地之中"较"天下之中"内涵更为丰富。

The core idea of Luoyang studies is"centre culture"."The centre of heaven and earth"and"the centre of the world"are the basis of centre culture.In this paper,the analysis on the historical and geographical distribution of"the centre of heaven and earth"is compared with"the centre of the world"through literature reflects the statement of Heluo area that Luoyang is the center,which not only appeared in the earliest time,but also was recorded most.By comparison,the two not only share some similar points,but also have different points,which conveys that the connotation of"the centre of heaven and earth"is richer than that of"the centre of the world".
