从内陆到边疆:环境史视域下中国流域文明的内生与互动

From Inland to Border Areas:the Endogenicity and Interaction of Chinese River Basin Civilization from the Perspective of Environmental History

中国地势的三大阶梯塑造了内陆水系和边疆国际河流之间流域地理和河流景观的巨大差异,各流域在民族群体、社会、经济、文化等方面内生出丰富多元的流域文明。根据各流域文明在不同时空范围的跨流域传播和互动效应,以中原文化和农耕经济等为代表的内陆流域文明不断辐射和凝聚边疆跨境流域文明,使各流域文明由异质性趋于同质性发展。在此过程中,流域文明强化了以“中国”为中心的文明共性和国家认同,构成中华文明“多元一体”的发展格局,从内陆繁荣到边疆稳定的国家统一进程中,各流域文明发挥了重要的整合功能。

The three steps of China’s topography have shaped the great differences in basin geography and river landscape between inland river systems and border international rivers,and each basin has produced rich and diverse basin civilizations in ethnic groups,society,economy,culture and other as⁃pects.In addition,the inter-basin transmission and interaction effect of various river basin civilizations in different spatial and temporal ranges,and the inland river basin civilizations represented by the Cen⁃tral Plains culture and agricultural economy continue to radiate and condenses the frontier and cross border river basin civilizations,promoting the development process of different river basin civilizations from heterogeneity to homogeneity.In this process,the basin civilizations strengthened the commonality and national identity of“China”as the center,forming the development pattern of“diversity and unity”of Chinese civilization,and each basin civilization played an important integration function in the pro⁃cess of national unification from inland prosperity to border stability.
