Examining and Elucidating the Origins and Relationship Between the Xia and Shang Dynasties Within the Global Bronze Civilization System 世界青铜文明体系之下,审视阐述夏商之间的源流关系 Based on the widely accepted academic classification of human civilization progression-"Chiefdom-Ancient State-Kingdom-Empire"-and the actual developmental trajectory of early Chinese history, the author divides the special period from approximately 4000 BCE to 1046 BCE-during which "China" was conceived, born, and initially developed-into three distinct phases: the Pre-China Era, the Proto-China Era, and the Early China Era. The scope of the Early China Era as described in this book roughly spans from 1800 BCE to 1046 BCE. In archaeological terms, this period marks the transition of prehistoric China from the Ancient State era into the early to middle stages of the Kingdom era. Within the framework of traditional Chinese historical chronology, this period extends from the late Xia dynasty to the end of the Shang dynasty. The author primarily draws upon archaeological findings and the achievements of scholars in interpreting oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions. By cross-referencing these with historical records, the author revises certain inaccuracies and ambiguous statements found in the textual tradition, pinpoints the specific locations of the capital cities of the late Xia dynasty and the early, middle, and late periods of the Shang dynasty, and systematically reconstructs and vividly presents the magnificent historical panorama of the Early China Era. 根据学界普遍认可的关于"酋邦-古国-王国-帝国"人类文明进程划分原则和中国上古史发展实际情况,作者将公元前4000年至前1046年即"中国"孕育、诞生和初步发展这段特殊时期,分别定义为分为前中国时代、元中国时代和早中国时代三个阶段。 本书叙述的早中国时代范围,大致在公元前1800年至公元前1046年之间。从考古学上讲,这段时间正是史前中国由古国时代跨入王国时代的早中期。从传统的中国古史体系讲,这段时间是晚夏至商末时期。 作者主要运用考古学成果和众多专家学者对甲骨文、金文释读所取得的成就,对照文献记载,修正了文献中一些不实之词和模棱两可的说法,厘定了晚夏和商代早中晚三期都邑城址的具体所在,系统地还原、展现了早中国时代那幅波澜壮阔的历史画卷。
