摘要
在古代中国,人与生物之间并不像现代生物学揭示的那样仅仅是物质或生态关系,而且存在着一种精神上的照应。这就意味着古代中国人对生物的认识不可能客观,主观附会难以避免。研究以龟为例对这种关系进行了探讨。中国人对龟的认识深受经学、博物、实用传统的影响。在中国有博物或博学传统,但基本上没有以自然为主要研究对象自然史或博物学,也就难以孕育或产生自然科学。博物知识的积累和流传蕴含丰富的文化信息,是民族生物学或民族动物学研究对象。
In ancient China,the tie between humans and creatures is not only physical or ecological as modern biology has revealed,but also a spiritual one.This means that the ancient Chinese understanding of creatures could not be objective.This paper tries to explore this relationship with the turtle as an example.The Chinese understanding of the turtle is deeply influenced by Confucian classics,bowu and practical tradition.In China,there is natural history or learned tradition,but basically no natural history with nature as the main research object;thus natural science is difficult to be developed.The accumulation and spread of such knowledge contains rich cultural information and is the research object of ethnobiology and ethnozoology.
