“陶寺文化为夏文化说”的学术史观察

Observation of Academic History of Claim,"Taosi Culture Is Xia Culture"

“陶寺文化为夏文化说”是关于陶寺文化族属和夏文化指认的一种学术观点。该说于1983年前后产生,陶寺文化的年代、地域和社会性质等方面与传说中的“夏代”有颇多相合之处,因此该说曾一度得到若干学者的支持。随着夏文化探索的不断深入,该说日渐式微,但迄今在学界仍有遗响。“陶寺文化为夏文化说”在当时的学术背景下产生有一定的原因,在夏文化考古研究的进程中退出主流也是多种因素作用的结果。对该说的完整学术历程进行回顾,不仅具有重要的学术史意义,同时也可为当前的夏文化研究提供有益的借鉴。

The claim stating that Taosi Culture is Xia Culture is an academic stance concerning the attributes of Taosi Culture as well as the identification of Xia Culture.It appeared around 1983,and became supported by a number of scholars because of the fact that the age,geographic range,social feature and many other aspects of Taosi Culture coincided with those of the legendary"Xia Dynasty".With the exploration into Xia Culture going further,this claim gradually weakens,but still has its legacy so far in academia.The claim stating that Taosi Culture is Xia Culture appeared for certain reasons in that academic environment back then,and its disappearance in the course of archaeological research into Xia Culture is also the result of multiple factors.The review of the complete history of this claim is not only of important academic value,but also can be referenced by current research on Xia Culture.
