颛顼大帝和洪荒时代的北方

颛顼大帝是中国远古传说中的五帝之一.史学典籍和学者一直把这支文明的起源定位于山西、四川、河南、安徽乃至浙江.本文从文化人类学角度,以考古、神话、民俗、语言、文字诸学科互相参证,从远古中国北方民族生存状态的整体出发对历史旧籍作了反思性解读,认定这一文明起源于北方辽西,它的考古学背景应是红山文化及前红山文化,与阜新查海遗址渊源甚深.

Great Emperor Zhuan Xu and the North in the Primitive Era

Great Emperor Zhuan Xu is one of the five great emperors in Chinese primitive legend. His descendants are very prominent in the Chinese primitive times and main founders in China civilization, contributing a lot to the ancient civilization in Mid-Asia and America. But some historians have been looking on Shanxi,Sichuan,Henan,Anhui and Zhejiang as the origin of this civilization. This paper, from the point of cultural anthropology, thinks that this civilization(according to the available literature and archaeological material) originates in West-Liaoning,referring to archaeology, mythology, folkways,linguistics and written records. The background of its archaeology should be the culture of Hongshan and pre-Hongshan, so we say that it has a close relation with Chahai ruins in Fuxin.
