汉文化与西部时代——立足于《史记》的考察

Han Culture and the Western Era:An investigation Based on Historical Records

在五千年中华文明史上,周秦汉唐是以千里蜀道为轴心的西部时代;宋元明清是以万里大运河为轴心的东部时代。中华文明起源于西部,《史记》全面阐述了文明的西部起源论。中华文化兴盛于天府,司马迁将秦汉王朝崛起强盛视为秦蜀天府之国经济文化繁荣的结果。大汉盛世奠基于西部,辉煌灿烂的汉武帝时代是以西部为大舞台走向世界的,汉代奏响了中华文明由西部丝绸之路走向世界的黄钟大吕。龙马精神形成于西部,开拓进取、恢宏大气的大汉雄风是以马文化为标志的,甘肃河西走廊出土的"马踏飞燕"铜奔马就是汉代龙马精神的形象写照。

In the history of five thousand years of Chinese civilization,the Zhou,Qin,Han and Tang Dynasties were the western eras with the axis of Shu Road;The Song,Yuan,Ming and Qing Dynasties were the eastern eras,with the axis of the Grand Canal. The Chinese civilization originated in the west,and Historical Records expounded comprehensively the origination of this civilization. Chinese civilization flourished in the Land of Abundance. Sima Qian suggested that the rise of Qin and Han Dynasties was the result of the economic and cultural prosperity of the land of Abundance. The prosperous period of the Han Dynasty originated in the West,and the brilliant era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty developed in the West. Furthermore,the Han Dynasty was the era,in which the Chinese civilization spread to the world through the Silk Road in the West. The vigorous Spirit of Dragon and Horse was formed in the West. The pioneering spirit and splendid style of the Han Dynasty is marked by the horse culture. The unearthed cultural relic Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow,found in Gansu Hexi Corridor,is a reflection of the Han Dynasty’s vigorous Spirit of Dragon and Horse.
