摘 要:
史前江淮地区的文化发展颇受生态环境的制约。江淮东部因濒海而对海平面非常敏感。海水倒灌时,文化难以持续;海退且生态环境良好时,文化则能发展出一定局面。安徽江淮的生态环境虽不像东部那般极端,但也极受环境变化,如降温、洪水的影响。江淮间先民很早即种植水稻、狩猎采集、家畜饲养。龙山文化时期,禹会村遗址还发现有小麦遗存,具备了种植小麦的生态条件。总体而言,在生态环境平衡时,史前江淮先民通常开展以水稻为主的综合生业经济,在发展步伐上,并不落于周边区域之后。然终因江淮空间的狭窄,生态环境的不稳定,及地处过渡带的文化竞争性强,可被代替的概率大。虽然局部地区存在短暂的文化繁荣,然在更大的层面上未有可观的表现。

摘 要:
The cutural development in the prehistorical area of Yangtze River and Huai River is restricted by its ecological environment.The eastern part of this area is quite sensitive to the changes of sea level due to its coastal location.When the sea water invades,its culture is hard to maintain.Then when the sea water flows back and the ecological environment is suitable,its culture develops.The ecological environment in the Anhui part of this area is not as extreme as the eastern part.However,it is still greatly influenced by the changes,such as the drop of temperature and the floods.Ancient people in this area have planted rice,gone hunting and collecting as well as raised animals for quite a long time.Wheat remains appear in the site of Yuhui Village during the Longshan period and its ecological conditions are proper for the wheat planting.Generally speaking,with a balanced ecological environment,ancient people usually develop their comprehensive subsistence economy emphasizing on rice.In terms of the pace of development,they do not trail other ancient people in the surrounding areas.However,due to the narrowness of this area,its ecological environment is unstable and the culture competition is severe for these transitional areas.Its culture is at a high rate of substitution.Although partially its culture flourishes in a short period of time,its performance in a larger scale is not considerable.
