今天我想跟大家说一些与学术有关的内容。大家如果到希腊国家博物馆参观,可以看到一些希腊岛屿出土的彩陶,与北京大学塞克勒博物馆收藏的彩陶十分相似。在20世纪初,有一些西方考古学家在看到中国出土的彩陶后,产生一种观点,即这批彩陶都是从西方传到中国的,所以当时有一个非常流行的说法叫作“中国文化西来说”。我对这一观点一直存在怀疑。关于这个学说影响力最大的例子,是1921年瑞典考古学家安特生发现的仰韶文 Today I want to tell you some academic content. If you visit the Greek National Museum, you can see some painted pottery unearthed in Greek islands, and Peking University Sekel Museum collection of pottery is very similar. At the beginning of the 20th century, some Western archaeologists came to the view that after seeing the pottery unearthed in China, they all came from the West to China. Therefore, there was a very popular saying at that time called “ Chinese culture west is ”. I have always had doubts about this view. The most influential example of this doctrine is the Yangshao language discovered by the Swedish archaeologist Andersen in 1921
