中国境内人类古文化发展的气候环境背景

气候环境及其变化是人类古文化起源和发展的重要因素之一,全新世以来我国新石器文化的演进也深受同期气候环境变化的影响。研究发现,全新世以来的暖湿气候是我国主要地区古文化起源、发展和繁荣的基本环境背景;期间气候环境的恶化却成为古文化发展的严重障碍或挑战;同时,人类古文化演进对气候环境变化的响应存在着显著的区域差异,这主要表现在响应时间和响应程度两个方面,一般而言,在时间上北方表现得要比南方滞后一点,而在响应程度上则稍轻一点,这种区域差异同样也存在于两个大区内部。

The Conditions of Climate and Environment for Development of Human Ancient Culture in China

The conditions of climate and environment and its changing is an important factor for the development of human ancient culture,the development of ancient culture in China had profoundly been also impacted by climate changes since the Holocene.The study indicates that the warm and humid climate is the key environment conditions for the origin and development of ancient culture in the main regions in China;fluctuation changing of climate brought the obstacle and challenge for the development of ancient culture during the same period;and on the terms of the development of ancient culture in response to the climate changing,there has obvious regional differences in two aspects,including the response time and the degree of response.Generally,the response time and the response degree are lag and less in northern China than in southern China respectively,these differences also appear inside the two regions.
