陶器在新石器时代社会变迁中的角色:政治、生产与文化建构

The Role of Pottery in Social Transformations of the Neolithic Age:Politics,Production and Cultural Construction

尽管西方历史学界经常强调石器时代和青铜时代的重要性,但在人类文明的进程中,特别是在东亚文明的背景下,陶器时代同样占有核心地位。中国作为陶器文明的发源地,在这一时期的人类文明演进中发挥了极其重要的作用。本研究探索了陶器与我国古代人类社会文明之间的相互建构性关系,聚焦于其在社会凝聚力、史前政治体系和生产关系变迁中的核心地位。通过对新石器时代陶器文化的深入分析,揭示了其在社交网络与促进文化交流中的决定性作用。结合马克思的生产关系理论,进一步探讨了陶瓷生产如何映射从原始公社制到封建结构的社会转型。总的来说,本文探讨了古代中国陶器与社会如何在交互性的文化与技术框架下共同进化,为社会学领域中“技术—社会互动”这一核心问题的解决提供一条新思路,为解读陶器在古代社会文明进程中的核心角色提供了一个跨学科的学术视角。

Despite the frequent emphasis by Western historiography on the significance of the Stone and Bronze Ages,the era of pottery holds an equally central position in the progression of human civilization,particularly within the context of East Asian civilizations.As the birthplace of pottery civilization,China played an extremely important role in the evolution of human civilization during this period.This study was aimed to explore the interconstructive relationship between pottery and the ancient human society of our country,focusing on its central position in social cohesion,prehistoric political systems and the transformation of production relations.Through an in-depth analysis of Neolithic pottery culture,the decisive role in promoting social networks and cultural exchanges was revealed.Additionally,the symbolism of pottery in religious rituals cited in the text,such as the mother-and-child pig sculptures,offers new insights into the role of pottery in the connection between religion and everyday life.Combined with Marx's theory of production relations,how ceramic production mirrors the social transformation from primitive communal systems to feudal structures was further explored.Overall,how ancient Chinese pottery and society co-evolved within an interactive cultural and technological framework was studied,offering a new perspective on the core issue of'technology-social interaction'in the field of sociology.Finally,an interdisciplinary academic viewpoint on interpreting the central role of pottery in the progression of ancient social civilization was provided.
