State Morphology and Spatio-Temporal Order in Early Ancient China:a Case Study of the Han and Wei Settlements in Qixinghe
The concept of time and space is the basic framework of civilization,which is closely related to the social form and human settlement mode in early human civilization. With the archaeological excavation and in-vestigation of the Qixing River Basin in the Sanjiang Plain in recent years,dense and well-preserved ancient human settlement sites in the Han and Wei dynasties have been discovered. These physical and chemical evi-dence show that in the Han and Wei dynasties more than 2,000 years ago,the human settlement pattern living in the Qixing River Basin of the Sanjiang Plain in the northeast frontier of China was going through a state of life from "nomadic dwelling-semi-nomadic dwelling-fixed wandering mixed dwelling",and the spatio-temporal cognition of the tribesmen also gradually shifted from the diffuse time of the nomadic society to the cyclical time of the agrarian society,and began to establish the ritual sequence of the unity of heaven and man and the time-space view of the cycle of heaven and earth. In some areas,morphological features of the early state also e-merged.
