摘要
早期中华文明、早期西亚文明和古埃及文明相似的文明化进程,主要缘于整个亚欧大陆相似的气候演变规律,也与文化交流存在一定关系.三大原生文明在文明化进程中也呈现诸多不同.早期中华文明形成"一元"宇宙观和"多支一体"格局,成为中华文明连续发展至今的根本原因.早期西亚文明的"多元"宇宙观和"城邦文明"模式,从根源上讲难以自然趋于"一体"或"一统".古埃及文明本质上是"一体"、"一统"程度较高的文明模式,但因缺乏分支文化系统和多样化社会子模式,而少了许多变通而长存的可能性.
Abstract
Early Chinese Civilization,Early Western Asian Civilization and Ancient Egyptian Civilization underwent similar civilization processes,primarily due to the similar natural laws of climatic dynamics throughout the entire Eurasian Continent,and might be certainly associated with trans-regional cultural communications.However,there were notable differences in the processes of the three major primary civilizations.Early Chinese Civilization formed a"unitary"cosmology and a"branched unitary"cultural landscape,which laid the foundation for the continuous development of Chinese Civilization.Early Western Asian Civilization had a"plural"cosmology and"city-state"civilization pattern,making it challenging to naturally evolve into the"unitary"or"unified"cultural landscape at the root.Ancient Egyptian Civilization was essentially a highly unitary or unified civilization pattern,but the lack of branched cultural systems and diversified social sub-patterns limited its long-term sustainability through flexible adaptations.
