摘要
1941年《说文月刊》首倡“巴蜀文化”学术概念,引发了巴蜀文化研究热潮,一时成为学术风尚,并对区域文化史研究产生了冲击,在一定程度上推动了中国文化史研究系统的再造。区域文化史成为一个新的学术分支,巴蜀文化、吴越文化等区域文化成为独立的学术概念,并逐渐为人们所认同。“巴蜀文化”作为学术概念提出并引发相关研究热,有着深层次的社会原因,一是与晚清至民国救亡图存背景下中国文化研究热的兴起有关,二是与现代考古学在中国的发展有着直接的关系。在此背景下,部分学人突破了以中原文化史代替中国文化史的研究范式,增强了对中国历史文化空间向度的认识。尽管“巴蜀文化”概念提出之初,不少学人对巴蜀文化概念的认识还颇多分歧,并产生了学术争鸣,但众多学者最终还是认同了这个新的学术概念,由此推动了巴蜀文化以及其他区域文化史研究的兴起,增强了学术界对中国文化多元一体的整体认知。
With millions of years of human existence,10,000 years of cultural evolution,and 5,000 years of civilization,China boasts a long history of rich cultural heritages,as well as of diversity and regional characteristics.After the middle of the 19th century,China was subjected to military,political,economic,and cultural aggression by the Western capitalist countries,and the Chinese nation was confronted with a serious crisis.It became a consensus among many intellectuals to revive the Chinese nation through culture.Due to the constraints of the orthodox view of the Central Plains and the unified view of Chinese culture,the study of the culture of non-Central Plains regions did not receive much attention,and regional culture was not treated as an independent academic concept.However,Chinese culture not only has a temporal orientation,with the development process of rise,development,prosperity,decline and renaissance,but also has a spatial orientation,with the formation of a number of regional cultural subsystems,which exist as sub-cultural systems and are the manifestation of the unity of Chinese culture.Before the 1940s,most intellectuals believed that Chinese culture was monism.Therefore,the change from cultural monism to cultural pluralism is not a simple change of academic point of view,but a major breakthrough and innovation in ideological values from zero to one.In 1941,based on the study of a large number of archaeological data,archaeologist Wei Juxian first put forth the concept of Bashu Culture as a regional culture different from the Central Plains culture.The introduction of this academic concept was a breakthrough of ideological innovation.The reason is that it has an inherent logical relationship with the rise of Chinese culture research and the development of modern archaeology under the background of the Republic of China period's saving the country and ensuring its survival.This new concept triggered the study of Bashu Culture,which eventually became an academic trend of that time.Although many scholars were still quite divided on the understanding of the concept of Bashu Culture at the beginning,they gradually gained a comprehensive and in-depth understanding after heated discussions on the connotation of the concept and related research methodology,pushing the study of Bashu Culture to develop from a pure archaeological perspective to regional cultural research combining archaeology,history and culture.This became an important turning point in the study of China's regional cultural history,as it provided a new rationale for the study of regional culture in modern China.The rise of the Bashu Culture research has separated the study of Chinese regional culture from the study of the overall history of Chinese culture and transformed it into a relatively independent research realm,thus recreating the research system of the history of Chinese regional culture and breaking through the long-standing research paradigm of replacing the history of Chinese culture with the history of the Central Plains culture,and enhancing the spatial orientation of Chinese history and culture.It became an important turning point for the gradual emergence of the study of the history of regional cultures,which,on the one hand,elevated the status and importance of regional cultures and,on the other hand,broadened the scope of the study of Chinese culture.More and more researchers began to see the multiple origins and regional characteristics of Chinese culture,and realize that the Chinese cultural system is composed of several subculture subsystems,thus enriching the connotation of Chinese culture,and enhancing the academic community's overall knowledge of Chinese culture.
