中国史前时期特别是新石器文化的区域划分,是近十年来考古学界围绕着区、系类型研究而经常涉及的一个“热门”课题。最早提出这一研究思想的苏秉琦教授,曾将全国的新石器文化划分成六个大区,而长江下游便是其中之一。尔后,虽然又有一些学者相继提出了“八区说”、“七区说”、以至于“十二区说”,但长江下游作为一个相对独立的文化单元,已基本成为大家的共识。然而,长江下游的史前文化不但有宏观上统一性的一面,而且也有微观上多样性的一面。换言之,长江下游文化区的整体框架虽然已经搭建起来,但其内部的具体结构却还有待于进一步地构筑。而就此进行探讨的可行性,则在于近年来越来越多的考古新发现,正不断丰富或充填着以往研究中的那些薄弱地点和时间缺环。这就为我们提供了从更完整的时空范围内,来审视史前长江下游文化区内部的区域结构和相互关系的条件。
The division of China’s prehistoric period, especially the Neolithic culture, is a “hot topic” often covered by the archeology circles in the past ten years in the research on the typology and genre. Professor Su Bingqi, the earliest proponent of this research thought, once divided the Neolithic culture across the country into six regions, and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is one of them. Later, although some scholars proposed “eight districts” and “seven districts said” one after another, that “the twelve districts said”, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River as a relatively independent cultural unit has basically become the consensus of all. However, the prehistoric culture in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River not only has a macroscopic unity, but also has a micro-diversity side. In other words, although the overall framework of the cultural area of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River has been set up, the specific internal structure needs to be further developed. However, the feasibility of this study lies in the fact that more and more archaeological discoveries in recent years are constantly enriching or filling in the weak spots and the lack of time in previous studies. This provides us with the opportunity to examine the conditions of the regional structure and inter-relations within the prehistoric cultural region of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River from a more complete time and space perspective.
