評郭靜云：《夏商周：從神話到史實》

A Review of Guo Jingyun's The Three Dynasties, From Myths to Historical Facts

郭著以稻作最早發明於澧陽平原，而江漢流域很早就出現古國，以之論證中國文明之突破首先發生在中南地區、而非黃河流域的「中原」。此命題頗有見地，唯農牧革命的突破帶不一定是文明的誕生地，論證宜更嚴謹。郭著亦過分執著於中南地區是否帶頭進入青銅時代，筆者則認為考古學以器物材質作分期之法只供參考而已。郭著視盤庚遷殷為首建國都，且帶來了戰車，但將其來源置於黑龍江以北。歐亞大草原的東部終端其實在黑龍江以南，經此糾正，當更有利於先商與史前東北文化有淵源的命題。

Many Chinese intellectuals highly respected Chinese traditional culture, and this 'localization' has become one of the two major developments in Chinese academic. Qian Mu, a scholar who 'devoted his life to searching for Chinese soul and spirit,' was a leading scholar of 'localization.' moreover, his different academic backgrounds reflected the historical process of 'localization' since 'the reform and opening up' period. In the 1980s his cultural historian's background followed the route of 'Culture Hot;' in the 1990s, as a master of Sinology, he was in line with 'Sinology Hot.' For the last decade, as the 'localization' gradually integrated with 'westernization', Qian Mu's dual identity of being a master of Sinology and a great educator at Hong Kong and Taiwan was still line with the trend. Thus, Qian Mu can be regarded as a miniature of the 'localization' process in Chinese thoughts during the last three decades.
