摘要
传统钱币的“天圆地方”形制一直有“经济说”和“政治说”两种说法。本文在赞同后者的基础上 ,依据近年来考古学和文化学的相关研究成果 ,追根溯源地梳理出这种货币形制的上古神权渊源及其大一统政治学内涵 ,指出这一宗教神权特征的发展演变的政治、经济和意识形态背景 ,认为这一延续了数千年的币制形态 ,其神权政治的象征意义大于商品交换的经济意义。
There have been two arguments about the traditional Chinese coin system of 'the square heaven and the rotundate earth': one is of economics while the other is of politics. Based on the approval of the latter view, this paper traces back to the theocratic origin of the coin system and digs out its political meaning of unification in the light of the achievements in recent archaeological and cultural studies. Furthurmore, the author points out the political, economic and ideological backgrounds in the development of theocracy, holding that such coin form, which exists for thousands of years, attains more symbolizing significance in theocracy than economic significance in commodities exchange.
