本文的研究表明,早商时期是中原与北方文化的结合时期。从晚商时期开始北方青铜器兴起,并向外传播到达了蒙古和米努辛斯克等地,而商文化高超的青铜器制造技术是中国北方青铜器兴起的重要原因。在西周初年,草原文化的兴起又影响到了中国北方地区,这些交往形成了中国北方和蒙古高原冶金区,这也是后来匈奴联盟的基础。
The research illustrates that the Early Shang was the period when the Central Plains and Northern Cul- tures integrated with each other. Starting from the Late Shang, Northern bronzes developed rapidly, and even spread out to Mongolia, Minusinsk and other areas. In fact, the advanced bronze rmnufacturing technology of the Shang Culture was the intaortant reason driving the rise of Northern China bronzes. During the Early Western Zhou period, the growth of Steppian cultures also influenced and feedback to Northern China. These communications, consequently, led to the formation of metallurgical regional center in Northern China and the Mongolian Plateau MetaUurgical region, which even laid down the founda- tion for later Hun alliance.
