Shanghai Social FederationThe papers of 2023 have been released.The activity does not require the author to declare by itself. Relying on authorized experts and scholars, academic journals, senior academic editors, etc. to conduct multiple rounds of reviews.In the context of the "anti -five only", this activity is also a bold innovation of the academic evaluation mechanism.
The common feature of the recommended dissertation is to pay close attention to the social reality and academic dynamics, be good at discovering and refining problems, highlightProspective and pioneering.
Surging news reporters and Shanghai Social Federations 2023 thesis winners talk about it to see how Shanghai social scientific scholars answered the question of China, the worlds question, the people of the people, the people of the people,Question, the time of the times.
On February 2, 2024, "Xingyao China: Sanxingdui · Jinsha Ancient Shu Civilization Exhibition" was launched at the East Museum of Shanghai Museum.The popularity is comparable to a popular concert. For two consecutive days, 8,000 places are empty within 5 minutes.In recent years, the popularity of the culture has also attracted the attention of many social sciences.
Shanghai Social Federations 2023 paper has a paper that focuses on Samsung Dou Civilization, that is, Wang Xianhua, a professor of the History of Global Civilization, Shanghai University of Foreign Languages, Wang Xianhuas "Sanxingdui Civilization of the Bronze Age of Mainland in Asia and Europe" (Originally contained in "China Social Sciences" 2023).Wang Xianhua pointed out that the role of Sanxingdui civilization should be inspected as a whole. Based on this, he proposed the statement of the Chinese civilization power field and the arterial artery.
Wang Xianhua believes that the period of Sanxingdui civilization is an era of frequent interaction of bronze civilization in Asia and Europe. It is the characteristics of Sanxingdui civilization, including what we are familiar with this era, including what we are familiar withSamsung pile symbol elements, such as god trees, masks, etc.He believes that Samsung Dou Civilization is a local civilization located within the Chinese civilization power field and has a distinctive background of Chinese civilization.
How to view the status of Samsung Dou in the history of civilization?How to respond to the curiosity and concern of the public under "Sanxingdui Hot"?Recently, surging news reporters interviewed Wang Xianhua on the above issues.
Watch Sanxingdui in the Chinese civilized power field
Surging News: How do you pay attention to itResearch on Sanxingdui?
Wang Xianhua: My professional direction is the early study of the two river basins.In the early days of studying, whether it is in Chinese or from archeology, it is required to think and observe relative time.In the study of the two river basins, I noticed that the historical development of the long period of the two river basins and the Chinese history I learned earlier has a magical, meaningful similarity.Regardless of Chinas or two river basins, similar historical phenomena will appear again and again, with certain regularity.
I bring such a perception to return to the ancient Chinese history, want to find a confirmation, and think about whether such a phenomenon has the potential and theory of further excavation in academics.value.This is the earliest important reason I was paying attention to Sanxingdui.
I have paid more than 10 years of concern for Sanxingdui. It is essentially through the exploration of Sanxingdui, try to understand the possible hidden laws behind the history of Chinese civilization, clarify the overall development of the history of Chinese civilization.This helps me go back to deal with problems in the history of civilization in the long period of time in West Asia and the Lianghe Basin.As a Chinese, you can study another ancient civilization back to your own civilization tradition, which will also make me more confident.
Surging News: What is the special thing about your research on the Sanxingdui problem compared with other past studies?
Wang Xianhua: In this paper, I constructed a well -explained, the overall understanding framework for the long period of time of Chinese civilizationEssencePutting Samsung Ding civilization under this framework, its significance is naturally presented.
Based on Mr. Tong Enzhengs proposal, the "half -moon -shaped cultural communication belt" throughout China and from Northeast Asia to Southeast Asia. I proposed the concept of Chinese civilization arteries.
This large arteries can vividly show the dynamic laws of Chinese civilization and its various parts in the Chinese civilization power field.In this sense, the understanding of the Chinese civilization forces and arteries can not only explain the related issues of Sanxingdui civilization, the evidence of Sanxingdui and other local civilizations, but also supports the understanding of the Chinese civilization power field.This kind of interpretation relationship is where this article is relatively unique, and it is also the direction that I am very willing to follow up.
Surging News: Is the communication and interaction of the ancient world more active than we think?What do you think of such a two -way civilization and mutual learning to inspire historical research and current development?
Wang Xianhua: According to these years of research, especially the application of new technical means, our density of mutual learning and communication of ancient civilizationsAnd depth has higher estimates.Previously, many people may think that all parts of the world are isolated and exchanges are difficult, but if it is placed in a long enough time span, the communication and mutual learning between ancient civilization can be said to happen.
If artificially blocks it, it will move against the historical trend.Today, whether it is natural resources or humanistic elements that can be so rich, the motivation for human forwards and development can be so active, which is very important and direct with the mutual learning of civilized exchanges.
An important inspiration that we can get today: It is not to say that we are going to advocate civilized communication and mutual learning. We just advocate the acceptance and understanding of this historical inevitable phenomenon, and then follow the trend.Instead of the opposite.This is the core of this issue.
Surging News: For the observation of the ancient world, it may not be able to ignore the sharing of the world, nor can it be ignoredIn addition, is there a local development?
Wang Xianhua: Some.A very important feature of Samsung Dou, as I mentioned in the article, it is on the one hand to accept the eight -sided wind, as Mr. Lu Xun said, "The mouth is in Zhejiang, the face is in Beijing, the clothes are in Shanxi"; on the other hand,, on the other hand,, on the other hand,, on the other hand,, on the other hand,, on the other hand,, on the other handIt also has its own subjectivity, which is "broughtism", rooted in the civilization development of the Chengdu Plain itself in the bronze era.We will explore the symbolic elements of Sanxingdui today. We will find that none of them are copying from form to content. They use the attitude of "old materials and new". They use foreign symbolic elements to complete the construction of self -identity.
Of course, what needs to be explained is that this construction is "background", which has a decisive impact on Samsung Dou civilization. It is still the civilized element within the Chinese civilization power field.Essence
We are surprised by the exotic style of Sanxingdui because people have a lot of money to pay attention to the unique parts, and ignore homogeneous content.In recent years, the iconic utensils such as the god tree pattern, jade jade, etc. In my opinion, it seems that Samsung Dou is a part of the ancient Chinese civilization and organic, inseparable part.
Study historical issues, do not add too much decision
Surging News: Whether Sanxingdui civilization has also had no more civilization,The history of radiation outward?
Wang Xianhua: I mentioned a very interesting example in the article, that is, the Bazaley in the Altai region in Sanxingdui for nearly a thousand years.Pazyryk ancient tomb.The patterns on the silk unearthed there, I think it may be affected by the tradition of Samsung Dou Shenshu.
On the other hand, although we have not seen the discussion of Bazarek silk today, according to the route of civilized arteries, it is most likely that it is most likely to from the Yangtze RiverThe river basin moved to Bazarak, and Chengdu, as the heavy town of the "Southern Silk Road" in the Bronze Age, has reason to believe that Samsung Doufeng civilization has played a role in turning out of the silk.
That is to say, when we study the symbolic elements of Samsung Dou, we must not only pay attention to the traces left in their local future history, but also expand their vision to the entire civilization arteries.The two wings of the two wings may also discover the new clues of Samsung Dous symbolic element inheritance.
Surging News: It may be difficult to completely bypass the perspective differences between the West and the East. How do you think how to objectively study the civilization of Sanxingdui as much as possible?
Wang Xianhua: When Chinese scholars study Sanxingdui, the biggest advantage is exactly the overall view of Chinese civilization.Chinese scholars are very clear that it is impossible to look at any part of the Chinese civilization in isolation and splitting.My research is verifying this truth. It is precisely the overall civilization tradition of Chinese civilization. It is easier for us to find the historical importance it deserves when looking at Sanxingdui.
and foreign scholars lack their perception of the overallness of Chinese civilization, and even some scholars have doubts.They seem to be
Interesting to remove the different parts of Chinese civilization, to create a illusion that although the Sanxingdui civilization is important but has an independent civilization source, it is trying to explain that it is not China.civilization.
Because Samsung Dou is at the crossroads of civilization, Western scholars also tend"" ".When they find that certain elements are passed from the West to the East, they will be very excited, and the research ideas of this civilized unidirectional communication are now increasingly proven to be too naive and even to the wrong level.
It is not to say that Chinese scholars and foreign scholars are opposite, but when studying historical problems, do not add too much judgments. If you want to make it from one or two small thingsOverall judgment, sometimes the more deeper and farther the truth can be caused.
Drive the unpopular and popular academic value.Not only has a boom in the academic community, many museums and exhibition agencies have also held related exhibitions of Sanxingdui, large and small. How do you think of "Sanxingdui hot"?
Wang Xianhua: "Sanxingdui Hot" is not "rushing the trend", which means that the topics of Sanxingdui are attractive and potential.Researchers in the field can look back at the important years in the history of Chinese civilization.
The discovery of Sanxingdui is very intuitive to present the richness, creativity, and integrity of Chinese civilization.Compared with other sites, the discovery of the Sanxingdui site is especially helpful to make a deeper interpretation of the historical context, development and changes, and regional exchanges of Chinese civilization.I hope it will have the effect and influence of the "heat" beyond the market.
Surging News: Have you encountered any difficulties in the research process, how do you face and solve?
Wang Xianhua: If you cant see the real academic value of SanxingduiThe height, from the original type of research, is actually very unpopular and boring.
The key is that it is very important to find the value in research in research.The environment may fluctuate. If you can find a sense of value and meaning, you can sink down.This is more decisive.
Surging News: In 2024, what topics do you plan to focus on?
Wang Xianhua: This paper about Sanxingdui is part of my larger research plan and will become a bit of academic work in this scale.One chapter.
Specific research content. First, the research work of the "unprecedented learning" project I am responsible for. I will invest more energy to do more pure Chinese work.The collation and research of the literature; the second is about Samsung Dou. Based on this paper, I will further explore some theoretical ideas in it, and write a few small articles to make further clarification of related issues.
