對於吳越文化,以往研究者多將精力集中於先秦時期以及永嘉南渡後該地區的治亂興衰。前者著重於吳越兩地與中原截然不同之文明現象和其在與中原交往過程中發生的歷史事件,而後者著眼於中原文化入主此地,使得當地漢化程度不斷加深這一歷史事實。然而,文明間的交融絕非一日之功,我們可以發現,對於從在保存自身文化到全盤接受中原文明影響的這一過程中,即秦漢兩代漫長的數百年間,學界並未給予足夠的關注,多從史料方面評判漢武帝移民會稽之事之真偽,而並未從全局角度對吳越之地民風轉變加以考量。本文僅對會稽一地於秦漢時代的變化作為研究對象,從反映中央政府治理會稽郡的歷史事件入手,嘗試從多角度剖析會稽文明發生顯著變化的原因。
Previous researchers focused on the pre-Qin period of the Wu-Yue cultures after the rise and fall of the empire. The former investigations have focused on the Wu-Yue people who lived far from the central civilization, both in their own way of life and their relations with the central government as a historical event, while the latter research is done on the Huang He River culture, which is the local centre of civilization focusing on the way people lived in the capital. However, the cultural blending is doomed to be a long process since the two mentioned cultures are separated, causing both cultures to accept the central ideology of the government. However, although the researchers discussing the Wu-Yue people accept the central discourse, and the emperor immigrating to KuaiJi, they fail to consider the reasons why these two cultures have accepted the ideology of the ruler, while at the same time lost the authenticity of their own culture because of mingling with the Han culture. Therefore, previous researchers have yet to investigate the Wu-Yue in a broader sense. From reflecting on the central government view, as well as the historical events in the period, the author attempts to find out the reasons for the civilization change from multiple perspectives.
