中原夏文化研究新探索的思考

Reflections on the New Exploration of the Research on the Xia Culture in Central Plains

中原夏文化研究历经百年,经历萌芽、发展、高潮、沉寂、振兴五个阶段,在夏文化定义、夏文化区域、二里头遗址考古等方面取得了丰硕成果,但也面临理论瓶颈、信心危机、周边挑战等诸多问题。应该排除困扰,回归考古材料与文献结合的正道,做好夏文化遗址考古,加大夏文化考古与研究的宣传力度,进行夏文化公众考古工作。

The research on the Xia culture in the Central Plains has gone through five stages in hundred years of development:germination,development,climax,silence,and revitalization.While it has achieved fruitful results in the definition,the region of Xia culture,and the archaeological work at the Erlitou Ruins,it also faces many problems like theoretical bottlenecks,confidence crisis,peripheral challenges,and etc.We should eliminate those distractions,return to the right track of combining archaeological materials and documents,improve our archaeological work at Xia cultural ruins,increase the publicity of Xia cultural archaeology and research,and carry out public archaeological work of Xia culture.
