摘　　要：楚地是长江流域早期文化的核心区域,长江决定了水对于这个区域文明起源发展的特殊意义。楚地由于这种特殊的地理环境而形成了丰富的水文化现象,这其中包括了对水的崇拜和相关的社会习俗。对水和楚地文明之间关系的理解对于我们理解长江文明,进而理解中华早期文明有重要的意义。楚地有关水文化的记载多不见于传世典籍,而大量记录于简牍帛书中,因此简牍帛书的钩沉不仅可以补充既有文献的不足,同时也可以从中窥管到更为细致可靠的其时社会中水的观念、习俗、行为和治理等,还原当时的社会风貌,故而有重要的学术价值。同时通过对简帛文献相关记述的梳理,我们也可以看出楚地早期的水文化在特征上和后面的水文化较大的差别在于,当时的人们所关注和实践的水文化总体来说还是人和自然之间的根本关系,也就是对于世界与生命的来源、人类如何获得更强的生育能力和身体机能以延续生命、如何维持人类的生计三个方面,以此形成早期楚地的水文化体系。The Chu Area was the centre of the early culture of the Yangtze River basin,and accordingly the water of the Yangtze River played a specially significant role in the emergence and development of the civilization in this area.Therefore,the specific geographic environment of this area produced its rich water culture,including water worship and related social customs.It has great significance to understand the relationship between water and the civilization in this area,which in return can help us to understand the early Chinese civilization.The records of the water culture in this area are mostly found in the bamboo slips and silk books rather than in the legacy of classics.Thus,the study of the bamboo slips and silk books has much academic significance because it can not only supplement the insufficient records of the existing historical documents but also reveal more detailed and reliably the water-related ideas,customs,rules and management in this area in those days as well as the true picture of that society.This study can also reveal the specific differences between the early water culture and the later water culture in this area because the early water culture was generally related to the basic relationship between man and nature,forming a system of water culture in this area in early days that covered three aspects:the origin of the world and life,the ways for humans to continue life with a stronger fertility and body function and the ways to maintain human livelihood.
