考古学如何找到早期中国?——读《文化上的早期中国》
Xin Lang Cai Jing· 2026-02-11 19:49
【书中问学】 作者:陈胜前、洪鉴璇(分别系中国人民大学历史学院考古文博系教授;中国人民大学历史学院考古文博系 博士生) 叩问早期中国:从文献迷雾到考古实证 公众对于早期中华文明的认识,多集中于夏商周三代。再往前追溯,则常感记载寥寥,甚至因文献不足而对 夏代等历史阶段的存在产生疑问。至于更古远的"三皇五帝"时代,更往往被视为缥缈的传说。20世纪前半 叶,古史辨派曾对古史文献进行深刻反思,提示了早期历史书写的复杂性。若无实证,对古史保持审慎态度 确有其理。然而,现代考古学的兴起,以持续发现的物质遗存,为我们打开了另一扇认知的大门。它不仅揭 示了人类诞生前地球的浩瀚历史,也勾勒出人类从简单工具到复杂社会、从小型游群到庞大国家的演进轨 迹。考古学家通过物质遗存"揭示"而非"书写"历史,一层层揭开历史的封土,让被遗忘的过往重见天日。 《文化上的早期中国》 韩建业 著 大象出版社 认识"早期中国",正须依赖考古学这把钥匙。韩建业的新著《文化上的早期中国》,即致力于解答"何谓早期 中国"这一根本问题。参观过宝鸡青铜器博物院的人,可能还记得其镇馆之宝——西周早期青铜器何尊上的一 句话:余其宅兹中国,自兹乂民。这是周武王灭商之 ...

Ren Min Ri Bao· 2026-02-07 00:42
立足田野 叩问古今(考古中国) 裴李岗文化是中原地区发现最早的新石器时代文化之一,分布范围广、对周边地区影响很大。对裴李岗 遗址的考古发掘,确认下层存在旧石器时代晚期文化遗存,为探索中原地区旧—新石器过渡提供了新的 重要材料。遗址出土了数量丰富的陶塑,主要为人物及动物形象,其中的人面獠牙像是目前发现最早的 人面獠牙形象之一,可能是新石器时代晚期神面形象的源头之一。对出土的陶质小口尖底瓶的检测,发 现了采用水稻为原料的红曲霉发酵技术进行酿酒的证据,为探索仰韶文化尖底瓶的起源提供了重要线 索。 新庙庄和裴李岗两个遗址,自上世纪七八十年代起就进行过多次发掘,如今,新一轮考古调查、发掘与 多学科方法的运用,揭示出多个新地点和前所未有的材料与信息,使老遗址再次焕发出新活力。这也提 醒我们:在新的学术理念和科技手段支撑下,一些早期调查、发掘、研究过的区域或遗址,可能仍具备 以前未能认识到的学术价值。 红山文化晚期人群为何在辽西地区突然失踪?他们迁徙到了何处?长久以来,这个问题一直困扰着学 界。郑家沟红山文化遗址的发掘,终于解开了谜团。碳14测年显示,郑家沟遗址1号积石冢年代距今 5100年至4800年,遗物既保留了红山文 ...
