Continuing Tradition and Learning from Overseas:The Rise and Development of Archaeological Surveys in China
The central theme of the rise and development of archaeological survey in China lies in the continuation and innovation of the tradition of exploring ancient times based on epigraphy(known as"Jinshi fanggu"),borrowing scientific archaeological methods from overseas,and integrating them with the Marxist historical materialism.In modern times,Chinese scholars,while following the tradition of Jinshi fanggu that emerged in the Yuan Dynasty,conducted field surveys on various remains.In order to refute the theory of"Sino-Babylonianism",they learned from overseas scientific archaeological methods for prehistoric relics.For the purpose of exploring the laws of social and historical development and answering the questions of the times,Marxist historians and archaeologists jointly promoted the integration of archaeological surveys with Marxist historical materialism.The rise and development of archaeological surveys in China demonstrates the cultural subjectivity and strong vitality of Chinese civilization in self-development,responding to challenges,and creating new situations,interpreting the high degree of compatibility between Marxism and excellent traditional Chinese culture.
