摘要

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。

Professor Guo Jingyun argues against the conventional view of the Yellow River Valley being the cradle of the Chinese civilization. She moves the ＂central plain＂ to south-central China, because rice cultivation was first invented there, and the region was also home to some of the most ancient cities such as Shijiahe. My criticism is that the home of the agricultural revolution is not necessarily the birth place of the first civilization. Guo is also overly concerned with whether south-central China was the first to enter the Bronze Age, but my contention is that there has not been any consistency in the application of the tripartite archaeological periodization. Guo might be right in seeing the Shang people as nomadic in origin, but she misplaces the Eurasian Steppes to the north of the Amur River.
