摘　　要：一、前言中原地区是中华文明的发源地和核心区,这一区域的考古发现对理解中华民族的历史根脉和文化特质有重要意义。中原地区的考古学研究能够为回答中华文明何以形成、何以延续提供重要线索。中原地区(本文主要指中原文化区)一直被认为在中国早期历史进程中具有领先周围地区的中心地位[1],且这种领先地位一直延续到了历史时期。The Zhengluo region is an interstitial zone enclosed by three large cultural-geographical units:the Loess Plateau,the Haidai region,and the middle Yangtze River.During prehistoric times,this area was influenced successively by archaeological cultures from these three regions,resulting in cultural interdependence.Around 6000,5000,and 4000 years ago,the archaeological cultural patterns in and around this area underwent several changes.By approximately 3800 years ago,during the Erlitou culture period,the Zhengluo region emerged as an independent and stable cultural zone,marking the initial geographic boundary of the Central Plains cultural zone.With the expansion of the Shang Dynasty,the distribution of Shang culture spread and a Central Plains-centered cultural pattern was preliminarily established.
