近几年来,为了考察楚文化与其它区域文化的联系,我对周代的文化交错地段——尤其是与楚文化关系密切的文化交错地段格外关注。这篇小文所要介绍的,是我对周代淮汉之间这个文化交错地段的认识,希望能得到《中原文物》读者的指教。首先要说明:何以称“交错”?何以称“地段”?交错,似乎也可以称交接,但称交接容易 In recent years, in order to examine the relationship between Chu culture and other regional cultures, I paid special attention to the interlaced areas of culture in the Zhou dynasty - especially the culturally interlinked areas closely related to Chu culture. This essay is going to introduce my understanding of the interlaced sections of culture between the Huai and Han Dynasties in the Zhou Dynasty and I hope that readers of “Central Plains Relics” can get their advice. First of all, we must state: Why we say “interlacing”? Why do we call “lots” staggered?
