摘要
Built on the foundation of cultural exchange with the Central Plain and foreign entities from Central Asia,a distinct and unique sphere of interaction was established in Northwest China during the Bronze Age.The Painted Pottery Culture of China,originating from the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River,along with related agricultural elements,intersected with the Bronze Culture of the western world and its accompanying agricultural and animal husbandry elements,as they both spread and converged in the northwestern region of China.This convergence of cultures forms the fundamental basis of the unique interaction sphere in that area.The formation of the interaction sphere in Northwest China,marked by the conflicts and integration of different cultures,gave rise to unparalleled cultural creativity.This interaction sphere sits at the core of the vortex of east-west culture exchange.The communication and interactions between east and west in the Bronze Age lead to the deepening of mutual learning among eastern and western civilizations,play a pivotal role in the advancement of Central Plain civilization,and embed"inclusiveness"as one of the most crucial inherent characteristics of the Chinese civilization.
