西周封國空間過程中的流域與區域
西周王朝的政治疆域由王畿和封國兩大部分組成，建立對其封國發展時空過程的整體認識，可以為西周時段乃至先秦時段研究提供一個基礎參照系。文獻所見西周有近130個封國，中山大學歷史學系（珠海）于薇對其史料進行全盤梳理，將其中的地點變遷信息加以提取，可以發現有26個封國存在受命徙封的情況。此26個封國在徙封時間和地點方面的特征，能夠反映出西周王朝區域開發和疆域盈縮的節奏。在西周封國的發展過程中，流域作為自然地理基礎，為封國之間的聯系提供了諸如資源、交通等基本條件。在隨後275年的西周歷史發展中，社會政治要素與流域自然條件相因應，西周封國政治地理結構的骨架日益清晰，疆域內呈現出了若干綜合性的人文區域。

于薇副教授將於本次量化歷史網上講座中講解流域與區域分別代表了自然地理和人文地理的兩個基本維度，可以作為進行王朝尺度歷史政治地理研究的重要分析工具。

Basins and Regions in the Spatial Process of the Western Zhou Feudal States (Webinar in Mandarin)
The political territory of the Western Zhou dynasty consisted of two major parts: the royal domain (wangji) and the feudal states. A comprehensive understanding of the temporal and spatial processes of the development of the feudal states can serve as a basic reference for research on the Western Zhou period and even the pre-Qin period.

According to historical records, there were nearly 130 feudal states during the Western Zhou period. Wei Yu of the Sun Yat-sen University history department (Zhuhai) has conducted a comprehensive review of the historical materials of the Western Zhou period, extracting information on location changes, and has found that 26 of the feudal states were subject to relocation orders. The temporal and spatial characteristics of these 26 feudal states can reflect the rhythm of regional development and territorial expansion and contraction of the Western Zhou dynasty. During the development of the Western Zhou feudal states, basins served as the natural geographical base, providing the basic conditions for inter-feudal links, such as resources and transportation. In the following 275 years of Western Zhou history, the socio-political elements were matched with the natural conditions of the basin, and the political-geographical structure of the Western Zhou feudal states became increasingly clear, with several comprehensive humanistic regions emerging within the territory.

In this Quantitative History Webinar, Wei Yu will explain that basins and regions represent two basic dimensions of physical and human geography and can serve as important analytical tools for conducting historical political geography research on a dynastic scale.
