PART 05
Homework
What’s in the name of “中国“？
Or what’s in the name of “ China”
Names are the fingerprints of history.
1. “中”与“国”的直译
“中”指“中央”或“中心”，“国”即“国家”，合称“中央之国”或“居天下中心的国家”。这一概念源于古代华夏民族的“天下观”，认为中原地区（黄河流域）是文明的核心，四周为“四夷”（东夷、西戎、南蛮、北狄）
2. 最早的文献记载
西周青铜器“何尊”铭文（约公元前11世纪）中的“宅兹中国”，指周成王营建洛邑（今洛阳）为都城，象征统治中原的政治中心。春秋战国时期，“中国”多指中原诸夏列国，与周边蛮夷区分。
3. “中庸”哲学的体现
“中”与儒家“中庸之道”相呼应，强调不偏不倚、和谐平衡的价值观。
4. “中原”的文化认同
中原地区被视为中华文明的发源地（如河洛文化），成为“中国”的文化符号。
5 “China”的词源争议
“秦”说：梵语“Cīna”（ ）可能源自秦朝（Chin）的音译。
“丝绸”说：古希腊罗马称中国为“Seres”（丝国），而“China”或与印度古籍中的“Cina”相关。
“瓷”说：晚近因瓷器（china）闻名，强化此名。
他者眼中的“中央帝国”
古代东亚朝贡体系中，中国自居“天朝上国”，周边国家称其为“中华”“中土”。
