| Based on the litterateurs that included in seven volumes of the dictionary of Chinese writers from pre-Qin to present-day,this paper analysis and count the temporal and spatial distribution of the Chinese ancient litterateurs.First of all,the paper selected the data of the literatures according to the year of birth and the native place statistics to establish a relevant spatial database.Secondly,the author makes a segmented and overall analysis,and then makes a segmented analysis in different time periods,so as to obtain the main distribution region of literature and the distribution region of different time nodes and the quantity change.Thirdly,the author puts every one hundred years as a time period to analysis the migration of litterateurs’ center of gravity and discuss the main categories and distributions of the litterateurs.Finally,by using the method of historical documents,the author makes a comparative analysis of the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of litterateurs in all periods and discusses the causes of evolution.The main conclusions are:(1)From the time-sharing temporal and spatial distribution of litterateurs we can see that the number of litterateurs presents an overall growth trend,and the initial distribution of the core area of litterateurs appears in analysis of every 250-years as a time period.In the analysis of every 100-years as a time period,it is found that the main peak and trough periods of the development of litterateurs,and the distribution of the core area of litterateurs is further refined.In the analysis of every 50-years as a time period,the fluctuation of the number of litterateurs is further refined,and the changes of the core area of litterateurs’ distribution can be seen more accurately.(2)The overall spatial distribution characteristics of litterateurs are as follows: the distribution of the number of writers is positively correlated with the spatial concentration degree at the provincial level.The provinces with more writers have a higher spatial agglomeration.The spatial distribution pattern of litterateurs is unbalanced.Litterateurs are highly concentrated in the southeast coastal areas and sparse in the northwest frontier areas,which show obvious differences between east and west.In terms of spatial distribution at city level,the distribution and aggregation degree of litterateurs are more obvious.(3)The population gravity center migrates circuitously from the northwest to southeast and the movement range on east-west is father than north-south.The center of gravity was mainly concentrated in the Yellow River Basin before 1000 A.D.while it was concentrated in the Yangtze River Basin after 1000 A.D.The spatial distribution of major writers is consistent with that of general writers.(4)From the perspective of spatial distribution comparison and change of litterateurs,compared with the cultural core area,the core area of litterateurs’ origin distribution is basically the same as the cultural core area in the early period.Compared with the distribution of the number one scholar and prime minister,the spatial distribution of the number one scholar and prime minister almost coincide with the spatial distribution of the core area of the litterateurs.(5)There are many reasons lead to the migration of gravity center of litterateur’s native place,including climate,economy,war and many other factors,and all the aspects jointly promote the migration. |
