摘要
夏商文化分界在二里头文化第三期与第四期之交,其年代为公元前1553年或公元前1572年,由此上推471年,则夏代开始的年代应为公元前2024年或公元前2043年。按照这样的年代,早期夏文化应为中原龙山文化晚期的遗存,中期夏文化应为"新砦期"文化和二里头文化第一期的遗存,晚期夏文化应为二里头文化第二期、第三期的遗存。长期以来,将"夏文化"定义为"夏王朝时期夏民族的文化",实际上有许多困惑和问题,为此本文提出并论证了"应将夏文化定义为‘夏王朝时期夏后氏(夏王族)的文化’"这样一个新的概念。
The Xia and Shang cultures are demarcated between the 3rd and 4th phases of the Erlitou Culture, at 1553 or 1572 BC in absolute date. Tracing back for 471 years, the Xia Dynasty must have begun in 2024 or 2043 BC. This means that the early phase of Xia Culture must be identified as the remains of the late Central Plains Longshan Culture ; the middle phase, as those of ＂Xinzhai Pchod＂ Culture and Erlitou Culture I; and the late phase, as those of Erlitou Culture II and IlL For a long period of time, the Xia Culture was defined as ＂the culture of the Xia people in the Xia Dynasty Period,＂ which actually aroused a lot of puzzles. Therefore the present paper puts forward and argues the new concept that ＂the Xia Culture should be defined as ＇ the culture of the Xiahou Clan （royal Xia Clan） in the Xia Dynasty Period. ＇ ＂
