《尧典》“幽州”发微——兼论辽西古文化区在中国文明起源过程中的地位和作用

A Study of Youzhou in Yaodian ——On the Role and Function of Liaoxi Ancient Cultural Region in the Origination of Chinese Civilization

《尧典》"幽州"起源的历史背景是辽西古文化区自距今8000年至5000年前一脉承传的红山系列文化的长足发展。从龙山时代早期的小河沿文化开始,由于红山时代各大文化区域平行发展的趋势的消失,中国历史发展出现了以中原为中心的趋势,辽西地区从此失去了以往的文明中心区域之一的重要地位而渐次沦为文化边缘地带。这便应是《尧典》"幽州"并入《禹贡》九州之中的深刻历史文化原因。

The historical background of the origin of Youzhou in Yaodian is Hongshan Age in Liaoxi ancient cultural region. Beginning with the early culture of the river bank, and due to the disappearance of the tendency of parallel development of different cultural regions, there appeared in the historical development of China a tendency of taking Central Plains as the center. Since then, Liaoxi region has lost its important role of one of the centers of civilization and become a marginal region of culture, which is the profound historical reason why Youzhou in Yaodian was finally combined with Jiuzhou in Yugong.
