良渚玉器中的地质语言

Geological Language in Liangzhu Jades

摘要:

良渚文化因出土了大量精美的玉器而闻名世界，但玉料的来源存在着较大的争议，这是探讨良渚文化是否为本土文明的关键线索之一。除了被赋予的社会属性以外，玉首先是特定地质作用下形成的矿产资源，这决定了地球科学是古玉研究中极为重要的一环。以地球科学的思想和方法为指导，结合良渚玉器的矿物特征、岩石结构、化学成分等剖析了其携带的地质信息，探讨了良渚玉料和小梅岭软玉的亲缘性，支持了良渚文化的本土起源。

Abstract:

Liangzhu Culture is world-famous for a large number of exquisite nephrite artifacts， but the provenance of nephrite materials has been a considerable controversy over the past several decades， which is one of the keys to judging whether Liangzhu Culture is a native civilization. In addition to social attributes， nephrite， as a mineral resource， is a result of special geological processes at first， indicating that Earth science is an important part of researches of ancient jades. In combination with mineral characteristics， textures， and chemical compositions of Liangzhu jades， this paper deciphers the geological information from the ideologies and methods of Earth science and discusses an affinity between Xiaomeiling nephrite and nephrites used in Liangzhu Culture， supporting the native origin of Liangzhu Culture.
