汉水、淮河——中国南北文化转换的轴心

Hanjiang River and Huaihe River: Cultural Conversion Axis between North China and South China

中国文化在地域分布上 ,自古以来就存在着北方黄河流域文化和南方长江流域文化两大板块 ,而汉水、淮河流域是南北文化转换的轴心。这里不仅是中华文明的发祥地 ,而且是南北与东西文化的融汇、改造、消化之地。正是汉水、淮河流域这个南北文化大熔炉 ,冶铸出了光芒四射、魅力无穷的楚文化和道家道教文化。

In the perspective of range, Chinese culture is made up of two parts: Yellow River Reaches Culture and Yangtze River Reaches Culture, with the reaches of Hanjiang River and Huaihe River as cultural conversion axis between North China and South China. The reaches of Hanjiang River and the reaches of Huaihe River are not only the birthplace of Chinese civilization, but also the melting pots for the North Culture and South Culture, East Culture and West Culture. The melting pots have moulded the charming Chu Culture and Taoism Culture.
