摘　　要：突出的连续性、创新性、统一性、包容性及和平性,是对中华文明特质的深刻总结。探寻这些特质的根源,解答中国何以形成绵延发展的统一多民族国家,是中国考古学的重要目标。中华文明“多元一体”的宏阔形成历程,正是五个突出特性形成的重要原因。"Pluralistic unity"is a key concept in the discourse surrounding the origins of Chinese civilization.This idea represents an important theoretical innovation within Chinese archaeology,offering an interpretation of the formation of Chinese civilization from the perspective of a cultural community.It has both a clear definition and substantial evidence.However,in academic practice,the use of this concept has long been influenced by models such as the"Central Plains-centered"framework and the notion of"taproot system,"leading to ongoing ambiguities and controversies around the interpretation of the"Central Plains"as a concept.Through examining these related concepts,it is found that moving beyond the"grand unification"paradigmoften used to explain the origins of Chinese civilization during historical periodsdoes not diminish our understanding of the unity of Chinese civilization.Instead,it allows for a clearer,more objective interpretation of the development of a"civilization-state"and the nurturing of a political ideal of"grand unification"through diverse interactions across vast geographic spaces.
