The Identity And Political Space Of The Northwest Frontier Of Western Zhou Dynasty

Longdong has been a multi-ethnic interactive area since ancient times.Longshan is located at the junction of present-day eastern Gansu,southern Ningxia,and western Shaanxi provinces,including today's Guyuan,Qingyang,Pingliang,Baoji,Tianshui,and other cities..The geographical environment of the surrounding area centered on Longshan is a politically sensitive area.It is a must-see for the northern section of the eastern section of the ancient Silk Road.It is connected to the Qinling Mountains to the south and is an important barrier in the security guard.From 1000 BC to 400 BC was the period of the rise of the nomadic society in northern China.This area was a mixed area of agriculture and animal husbandry during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.Definite boundaries between polities may not have existed then,but rather an area where cultures interact and penetrate.At this time,the northwestern border of Zhou Zhi is a picture of ecological,ethnic,cultural,and political diversity.In the past ten years or so,the relevant units have carried out a series of systematic archaeological investigations,explorations,and excavations around the subject of "early Qin culture and Xirong culture research",which has promoted the Siwa culture and the Western Zhou cultural settlements of the Shang and Zhou dynasties during the Shang and Zhou dynasties in Longdong and surrounding areas The field archeological work of the site has achieved some consensus and brought more problems.The 1,000th century BC is the process of the transition from agriculture to animal husbandry in the northern part of China.It is an important historical process in the formation of the northern region society and the formation of interactive relations with the Central Plains dynasty.Due to the interweaving of historical issues and archeological issues,the Longshan area during the Shang and Zhou dynasties involved many topics,such as:Qin cultural origins and early Qin history;the strategy and management strategy of the northwestern frontier of the Western Zhou Dynasty;Siwa culture and its economy,Social organization structure issues;the literature records the issues of regional interaction and cultural exchanges between Zhou,Qin,and Rong;and so on.The above constitutes the background and significance of this topic.This article focuses on the two issues of identity and political space.First,it summarizes the current theories on how to discuss identity and political control from material culture,and then starts with specific archeological materials and analyzes the reasons for the current academic differences on related issues.Comprehensively apply literature,situational archaeological methods and historical archeological approaches,and put forward some ideas on some of them.It consists of six chapters.The first chapter is the introduction,which introduces the topic selection background,the materials and theoretical methods used.The second chapter is the geographical environment,which mainly introduces the two aspects of landform and climate and their impact on humans.The third chapter is archeology.The study of the age and stage of culture establishes the basic time-space framework of the article;Chapter 4 deals with ethnic groups and identification,and explores the issue of identification of material and cultural reactions from archeological materials;Chapter 5 deals with space and politics,and discusses the period from the Antecedent to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.The changing process of regional geopolitical space during the period.Chapter ? is the conclusion.The shortcoming of this article is that due to the discrepancy in the literature and the fragmentation characteristics of archeological materials and the lack of related theoretical discussions,in many conclusions it only reveals the complexity of history itself,and more precise conclusions depend on more Archeological discoveries and theories go deeper.
