Fulfilling Promises and Contingency:Interactions between J.G.Andersson and Weng Wenhao during their Study of Yangshao Culture

1921年仰韶文化的发现与研究,以及100年来的一系列重大考古发现,“展现了中华文明起源、发展脉络、灿烂成就和对世界文明的重大贡献,为更好认识源远流长、博大精深的中华文明发挥了重要作用”[1]。

Based on analysis of the archives of the correspondences of J.G.Andersson held at the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities in Sweden,this study systematically examines interactions between Andersson and Weng Wenhao during their collaborative research on the Yangshao culture between China and Sweden.It reveals the true nature and significance of Sino-Swedish scientific collaboration.In 1924,China and Sweden established a collaborative Yangshao culture research agreement based on principles of equality and reciprocity,including regulations and specific methods for the distribution of cultural relics and publication of research results,serving as a legal guarantee for collaboration at the time.From 1925 to 1936,both parties adhered to the spirit of the agreement,fulflled their obligations,and overcame challenges and misunderstandings,maintaining a positive collaborative relationship.However,after the outbreak of the Japanese War of Aggression against China,the agreement could no longer be implemented normally.The Swedish side sought alternative solutions,leading to the eventual publication of significant contributions,such as Researches into the Prehistory of the Chinese.
