如何更深入地理解良渚文明，感受出中华文明多元一体的历史进程？由浙江大学出版社出版的《良渚文明》丛书做了全方位立体解密。

　　“良渚文明”丛书一套书共11册，是浙江省文物局“面向良渚古城遗址申遗的保护研究成果应用及转化”项目的最新研究成果，主要由浙江省文物考古研究所致力于良渚考古的中青年学者，围绕近年来杭州市余杭区良渚古城遗址的考古发现与研究，集体编纂而成，从不同的主题系统讲解了良渚文明的重要方面。

　　丛书包含——

　　《神王之国：良渚古城遗址》《土筑金字塔：良渚反山王陵》《法器与王权：良渚文化玉器》《内敛与华丽：良渚陶器》《工程与工具：良渚石记》《图画与符号：良渚原始文字》《物华天宝：良渚古环境与动植物》《良渚时代的中国与世界》《良渚遗址考古八十年》《何以良渚》《一小铲和五千年：考古记者眼中的良渚》。

　　这套书，用今年很流行的一个词来说，就是“绝对硬核”！我们不妨先读一读浙江省文物考古研究所所长刘斌所著的《法器与王权：良渚文化玉器》——

　　“由于乾隆皇帝喜好古物，所以清宫中收藏了大量的古玉，其中有良渚文化的玉琮、玉璜、三叉形器等玉器。乾隆皇帝还常常为新获得的玉器赋诗作文。从其诗文的内容看，玉琮当时被认作是古代扛夫抬举辇车或乐鼓所用的‘杠头’装饰。乾隆皇帝的收藏反映了近代良渚玉器的出土情况。”

　　从皇帝的癖好开始，刘斌切入良渚玉器的出土与传世，细数自殷商时期至上世纪30年代，几千年间良渚玉器的本来面目与意义的隐与显。

　　浙江大学出版社社长鲁东明介绍说，丛书汇集了浙江省文物考古研究所的考古工作者们扎根良渚三十多年的努力，以及良渚遗址八十多年考古历程中的重要发现,其中包含了考古工作者们的宝贵经验和大量的挖掘现场图片。

　　Books Celebrate Glory of Liangzhu

A number of books have been published since the Liangzhu Archaeological Site was inscribed onto the UNESCO’s World Heritage List on July 6, 2019 Beijing Time. The new books are designed to deepen understanding of the ancient Liangzhu civilization and present a new look at the diversity and unity of Chinese civilization.

　　Hardcore Archaeological Books by Zhejiang University Press

One day after the Liangzhu Archaeological Site’s inscription, Zhejiang University Press released Liangzhu Civilization, a series of 11 books, onto the market. The books were essentially written by middle-aged and young scholars who have been conducting in-depth studies on the Liangzhu Culture sponsored by Zhejiang Cultural Heritage Administration. The books present two groups of knowledge: what have been found at the archaeological sites and what the archaeological finds signify in terms of archaeology and history and culture.

The hardcore science series covers the achievements made by archaeologists of Zhejiang Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology in the past four decades, enumerates the key archaeological discoveries in Liangzhu over the past eight decades, and presents a large quantity of historical photos featuring field studies and excavation projects.

Ritual Artifacts and Royal Power: Cultural Jade of Liangzhu written by Director Liu Bin of Zhejiang Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology is included in the series. Jade artifacts had been unearthed in China long before archaeologists traced them all back to Liangzhu where a wealth of jade objects in tombs has been unearthed. Jade is a signature object of the Liangzhu Culture. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1644-19111) had a special passion for jade pieces. He wrote poems and essays in praise of jade pieces in his collection. Judging from the texts he wrote, Jade Cong was among his collection. In the book, Liu traces the ups and downs of jade Cong from Liangzhu in thousands years in Chinese history up to the 1930s when Shi Xingeng discovered the first batch of objects of the Liangzhu Culture that has led to the discovery of ancient Liangzhu City.

　　Liangzhu Kingdom: Five Thousand Years

Zhejiang Children’s Book Publishing House has just put a picture book titled Liangzhu Kingdom: Five Thousand Years on the market. The book, designed to tell the story of Liangzhu to children, is the first of its kind about Liangzhu in China. Written by Liu Bin and his colleagues, the book presents three major archaeological discoveries of Liangzhu: the world’s most ancient large-scale flood-control dam system, the city site of the Neolithic Age in China, and the jade age with typical Chinese characteristics. The book adds a sense of humor to the hard-core science.

“Our understanding of Liangzhu Culture is more than objects unearthed from tombs which reflect a primitive society. Today, we can discuss the ancient Liangzhu in many aspects: animals, plants, minerals, environment, pottery, jade and stone wares, lacquer and other wood pieces, agriculture and handicraft industry. We can draw a whole picture of the world five thousand years ago,” remarks Liu Bin. The book is his effort to tell children about archaeology.

For Zeng Qiqi, dean of Cartoon and Animation Department of Zhejiang University of Science & Technology, to present a pictorial history of Liangzhu 5,000 years ago is a serious task. The task does not allow too many entertaining touches. However, the book aims at children. She integrated traditional techniques as seen in murals in Dunhuang, images on bricks of the Han Dynasty, and other ancient ornamental patterns in her drawings of the picture book.

　　Research Fellow: Line Drawing of Unearthed Jade Artifacts

Fang Xiangming is the best artist among archaeologists of Zhejiang Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology. Engaged in archaeological projects and studies for 30 years, he has explored all the Neolithic sites across Zhejiang. As an artist, he has created a large quantity of line-drawings featuring the jade artifacts of Liangzhu. He published Line-Drawings of Liangzhu Jade Artifacts in 2018. The book received raving reviews among critics and readers. A new edition of the book has just been released onto market.

The book systematically illustrates and deconstructs jade artifacts and patterns on jade. Among the drawings are the King of Cong, the Scepter that symbolizes power and faith, ornamentals for head and neck, daily goods. Fang’s fine drawings allow the reader to peep into the jade culture of Liangzhu.

The discovery and interpretation of the jade artifacts unearthed in Liangzhu archaeological projects over the past 80 some years are the most important means to understand Liangzhu.

“Thanks to the large quantity of jade pieces we have unearthed, we are able to reach conclusions about the Liangzhu society and the civilization it presents. The jade artifacts are the main content and most eye-catching relics of the Liangzhu Culture. They allow us to take a close look at the civilization. Moreover, the jade manufacturing, the raw material and finished products, the shapes of these designs, and artistic and philosophical thought embodied in these jades give us a window to study the civilization which stayed buried for thousands of years,” remarks Fang.

The new edition comes out in larger format so that readers can see more in these line drawings. The new edition also adds three chapters which were not in the first edition. Respectively, the new chapters discuss the classroom study and practice of line drawing in archaeology, how the teaching of archaeological drawings is conducted in foreign schools, and the artistic features in archaeological drawings.

　　Liangzhu Kingdom

This photo book features a large quantity of pictures that highlight the archaeological results of the Liangzhu Culture. It provides a perspective on Liangzhu Civilization that flourished five thousand year ago in the context of global civilizations. The book features the characteristics of the Liangzhu Civilization and explains how it took shape in history. The book allows the reader to peep into the rise and fall of the Liangzhu City.

　　Shi Xingeng: Discoverer of Liangzhu Culture

The biography tells the story of Shi Xingeng, a young scholar who worked for the West Lake Museum and in 1936 first explored the Liangzhu Culture. A native of Liangzhu, Shi played a decisive role in archaeological discoveries which have eventually led to the international recognition of the five millennia of the Chinese civilization and the to the Liangzhu Archaeological Site’s inclusion onto UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
