The Origin Of Jiangnan Urban Culture And The Stage Of Development Research From The Pre-Qin To The Six Dynasties

Urbanization process and urban cultural studies in recent years is academics hot. Contemporary metropolitan area as the predecessor of the Yangtze River Delta, the Jiangnan ancient city and its cultural development has its unique and historical origins of the mechanism. More importantly, the changes in this development process, Jiangnan cities gradually emerged out of the Yellow River Basin and the northern cities of different qualities, and it is this trait affects the cultural spirit of the ancient Chinese city, as well as the formation of contemporary urban culture path of development. Therefore, in the history of urban development in China when there is a need to Jiangnan ancient city as a relatively independent individual to conduct research.Jiangnan culture is the source of the Yangtze River Upper Paleozoic era of civilization, and archaeological results indicate that the Yangtze River Basin is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization, there is also a Jiangnan ancient city environment. From the Western Zhou Dynasty to the late Warring States period, the land of China's rapid development of urban civilization, there have been many well-known citis. Overall, the Yellow River Basin as a result of the Central Plains region is well developed Li and yue political civilization, but also is a big country running competition for the main battlefield of hegemony, so brought together in many cities, including those that represent the highest level at the time of Linzi and Qufu. Some of which later developed into a typical northern political will, such as Xianyang. And the South, especially the Yangtze River basin, the whole city the number of relatively small, limited scale. In the Jiangnan region, Gusu and Shanyin's establishment is inseparable from the rise of culture can be said that these two cities, the birth of civilization and a symbol of Wuyue Jiangnan urban culture has entered a new phase of the originator .Chang'an in Han Dynasty is a typical city in northern China. It appears in the cultural history of Chinese cities have landmark significance. The development of urban civilization in China, the Chang'an City has laid a political foundation-type city. In the Han Dynasty, the North and the South than the development of the city has been great progress in the pre-Qin. Guangling appears in the Jiangnan region. However, based on a unified political consideration, at the same time afraid of the progressive development of the southern region's economic power, during this period Jiangnan cities are being marginalized.Jiangnan City Spirit awakening period and the first golden age in the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties. From the beginning of Jianye, Jiangnan city has entered a rapid development stage. In Six Dynasties Jiankang City Jiangnan urban culture is a sign of maturing, and its groundwork for future urban development in Jiangnan cultural foundation. Jiankang showed three main features: The first is the urban environment, the scale, as well as its status, and the image are changed, a new Regional Cultural Center is taking shape. Second, the Six Dynasties Jiankang City showed an important characteristic is its unique position and resources, form a kind of cultural cohesion and distribution functions, this is the type of urban culture are essential factors. Cultures and the North and the South are the spirit of culture will enhance the basic clustering capabilities. With the city full of culture as based on the aesthetic spirit of the Six Dynasties can be turned into a magnificent picture. At the same time, Jiankang region at the time of the Han ethnic is cultural center and spiritual home. Third, the limits embodied in the Six Dynasties of the richness of urban culture, is in the southern city which is the highest representative of the spirit, it can be said Jiangnan urban culture is the core substance. During this period, the material carrier of the Jiangnan aesthetic spirit is city, on behalf of its central region is Jiankang.Since then a fairly long historical period, the Central Plains culture of the Yellow River Basin is still the land of China's mainstream sound, the emergence of the Six Dynasties Jiankang not make Jiangnan urban culture from the Central Plains culture, a position of strength, which can really achieve the mature form.The origins of urban culture in the stage, China and the West on behalf of the city are China's Linzi and Athens in Greece. They are both thinking of the early national traditions and culture accumulated sites, respectively, of two kinds of symbolic foundation of civilization, the most important thing is that they can reveal two types of urban culture deep structures, I will call "capital formation "and" city-state form".Why Jiankang and Rome have the glorious histories of the world? The most important reason lies in its unique structure of urban culture. These two cities were left for the West and China, two exemplary model of urban cultural development: "Urban Empires" and "poetic Urbun." Jiankang almost contemporary is in the time with the western city of Byzantium, which shows a different structure of urban culture. To say Jiankang represented by the ancient southern city, is a transformation from a political will from the Cultural Center, then as represented by the Byzantine, Empire from the city turned into a religious and commercial center, this is actually secretly decided two cities in Western culture - Jiangnan urban culture and the Mediterranean commercial city of religious and cultural difference.Jiangnan ancient urban culture from the original state of the pre-Qin walked, and its cultural consumption and lifestyle in the Tang Dynasty ago can not really stabilize. Overall, the characteristics of military, political, ethical, commercial, aesthetic and religious influence of multiple factors, these factors are intertwined with an unprecedented and intense collisions, which lead to the development of the city Jiangnan trajectory shows a complexity, and unique history and culture combined with the geographical environment of opportunity, to enable the emergence of the true meaning of southern cultural city. The spirit of its own structure and begin to mature.Jiangnan ancient city of culture in the Pre-Qin to the development process of the Six Dynasties revealed: the existence of Chinese cities is not only a political city Zhongyuan represented "the North Pattern", but also the existence of a Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou and other cities, represented by "Jiangnan Pattern".Moreover, this "Jiangnan Pattern" is actually the construction of the new century metropolis of basic cultural circle, it is the ancient traditional culture and modern urban civilization of the fit between the points.Its innovation is two fold: First, the city's first cultural history of southern origins and the initial stage of a systematic study, for a more comprehensive and complete grasp of Jiangnan urban culture to provide a basic framework; Second, cross-related disciplines through research, Jiangnan urban culture in the spirit of the structure for intermediaries to explore the southern city culture and its humane spirit of modern means of conversion, and the cultural construction of contemporary metropolitan area to provide frames of reference.
