齐家文化草作农业续论概要

Further Discussion on the Grass-Based Agriculture During the Qijia Period

2015年第6期本刊刊发了我们的一篇论文,本文是对上篇论文的补充和进一步的续论。从齐家文化区域现在推广的农作物饲草生产集约化方式,到齐家文化遗址点上调查所见现今耕地仍然是杂草呈现优势,再联系到羌系民族流徙西南的高山游牧生业伴随刀耕火种生态系统,与齐家文化经济转型的生态化构成了发展变化的逻辑关系,再前推旧石器时代晚期的广谱革命已孕育多样化的因子,特定的环境地位和特殊的气候影响,催生了齐家文化草作农业并随后分化为游牧与农耕的对立,从而酿成中国历史的长城地带。

Serving as further discussion of the previous paper published in this journal in 2015,this paper explores several interrelated grass-based agriculture phenomena and their inherent relationship with Qijia Culture according to recent anthropology fieldwork.It firstly discusses the current spread of intensive forage-planting in the area where Qijia Culture was distributed around,and the growth of weeds as dominant species on the farmlands surrounding the sites of Qijia Culture.Then it reviews the historical process and current situation of the livestock farming in mountainous areas with the'slash and burn'ecosystem by modern ethnic groups coming from the Qiang ethnic minority,the cultural and economic change caused by the ecosystem in the Qijia period,and the broad-spectrum revolution in the late Paleolithic Period.It summarizes the common factors for cultural change in different historical periods and concludes that it was the unique environment and climate that led to the origin of grass-farming agriculture during the Qijia period and the bifurcation of the farming culture and the nomadic culture,accordingly causing the cultural belt along the Great Wall area.
