文明与国家起源的“聚落三形态演进”说和“邦国—王国—帝国”说

“Three Settlement Patterns of Evolution Theory"and“Nation—Kingdom—Empire Theory"on the Origin of Civilization and State

对于中国文明与国家起源的研究,笔者针对酋邦理论和'博物馆清单'式的文明观等方面的局限性,将聚落考古学与社会形态学相结合而提出文明与国家起源途径的'聚落三形态演进'说和'邦国—王国—帝国'说。这一理论体系虽巳在考古学界和上古史学界产生一些影响,但也需要进一步完善和深化。本文即本着深化和完善的目的而对它做出进一步阐述和概括。

In the research on the origin of civilization and state in China,pointing at the limitations of the Chiefdom theory and the civilization concept of Museum list,the writer combines the Settlement Archaeology with Social Morphology,and then put forward the Three Settlement Patterns of Evolution theory and Nation—Kingdom—Empire theory.Though this theory system has exerted a great influence in Archaeology and Ancient historiography,it needs to be improved and deepened.Consequently,pointing at improving and deepening this theory system,this thesis is to give it a further elaboration and summary.
