方形文化与上古中国数学的起源

摘要

从形与数概念的产生过程入手，研究了方形文化对中国上古数学文化的起源产生的影响。中国上古数学文化是中华古文化的重要组成部分；对抽象的形概念的认识以及对抽象的数概念的认识是抽象思维的产物；上古人类对方形的崇拜促进了方形文化的产生和发展；方形文化促进了形与数的概念的形成和发展；方形文化还通过对《周易》的影响，间接地促进了包括数学文化在内的中国古文化的产生与发展。%Starting with the creation process of the concept of shape and number, this paper has studied the effect of square culture to the origin of Chinese ancient mathematics culture. Chinese ancient mathematics culture is the important component of Chinese ancient culture, and the cognition to the abstract con-cepts of shape and number is the outcome of abstract thinking. The ancients' worship to square culture has promoted square cul-ture creation and development. And the square culture has pro-moted the creation and development of shape and number con-cept. Square culture has affected"the Book of Change"and pro-moted Chinese ancient culture development including mathemat-ics culture indirectly.
