关于文化因素分析法的几点思考

Several Thoughts on the Method of Cultural Factor Analysis

文化因素是指构成考古学文化内涵的不同的物质文化遗存,文化因素分析法则是对考古学文化构成因素的分析研究。通过分析考古学文化中的不同构成因素可以探讨考古学文化的源流、性质、变化、与周边文化的关系以及古人的生产生活方式等,进而认识该文化的发展演变模式。通过对考古学文化的不同层次文化因素,如日常生产生活类、社会制度类和思想观念类不同功能与性质遗存的分析研究,可以“透物见人”,深入认识考古学物质文化遗存背后的古人行为、思想观念、社会结构及其历史演变。发展了的文化因素分析法不仅有助于呈现“多元一体”的中国文化和中华民族的历史成长过程,而且可以帮助我们找到其背后的演进机制与内生动力。

Cultural elements in archaeology pertain to the diverse material cultural remnants that constitute the essence of an archaeological culture.The method of cultural element analysis involves scrutinizing and dissecting the constituent elements of archaeological cultures.Through this analytical process,we can delve into the origins,nature,changes,relationships with surrounding cultures,as well as the production and lifestyles of ancient societies,the developmental patterns inherent in a culture within archaeological contexts.By examining various Level of cultural elements in archaeology-such as relics associated with daily production and life,social systems,and ideological conceptswe are able to gain profound insights into the behaviors,ideologies,social structures,and historical evolution underpinning ancient material culture remains.Furthermore,this developed method not only aids in presenting the process of the historical growth of the Chinese culture and the multi-ethnic nation but also assists in identifying its underlying evolutionary mechanisms and intrinsic driving forces.
