贡物的“流通”--基于岭南四例的思想史考察

The“Circulation”of Tribute--A Review of the Ideological History Based on Four Cases in Lingnan Area

贡物在流入地被王权政治"消费"的同时,亦创置"人-物"认知新平台,积极推进"物理-人心"间的多元"流通"。格物致知,以物喻治,物理认知上的深进,激励出新的政治文明和政治发展。其中,岭南鬱草、鹬羽、葛布和铜鼓等,皆各尽其能,刻录、承载和再生产了古代中原王权所需的治理新策和关系新局。自古迄今,物的流通史,大体亦是一部政治思想史。

The tributes were usually"consumed"by the monarchy after the offering,at the same time,they also set up a new platform for"human-thing"cognition,which actively promoted the multiple"circulation"between physical subject and human mind.Learning through things,governing with things,and the deep advancement in physical cognition can bring out new political civilization and stimulate political development,among which the curcuma plant,sandpiper feather,ko-hemp cloth and bronze drum all play their role of recording,carrying and reproducing the new governance policies and relations for the ancient Central Plains monarchy.Generally speaking,the history of material circulation is also a history of political ideology from ancient times to present.
