周原现代地貌考察和历史景观复原

周人由豳地徙至岐山 ,当时应是湿润—半湿润气候。周人将定居处选择在岐山南麓的山前冲积扇地带 ,而不是如新石器时代先民那样选择在诸沟汇合处的黄土塬上 ,表明有将这里建成政治中心的意图。夏商周三代的崛起 ,都与其不断追求生境优化直接相关 ,这对于探讨中国文明起源的动因具有重要意义。

Investigate Modern Landforms of Zhou Yuan and Restore Historical Landscape

During the period of the ZhouYuan Culture, Zhou'people chosed former terrains which were very close to the south foot of the QiShan rather than the HuangTu tableland as their habitat. It is obviously that Zhou'people had the purpose to build this area as a centre of politics, economy and culture. It can be inferred from the zoologic habits of Quercus acutissima discovered here that ZhouYuan's climate of this time should be humid or sub-humid, but not a sub-arid grassland environment. We can also draw a conclusion that the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty and also the Zhou Dynasty all grew up with the gradual expand of their living space.
