A Reinspection of Old Tungus Production Culture : From the Viewpoint of Technological and Natural Sciences

通过“通古斯生产文化再考察：从技术和自然科学的角度”这一研究项目，我们可以实现预期的结果。在研究清代满洲、朝鲜和日本文化的基本因素时，研究古代通古斯文化是必不可少的，并利用历史文献和考古文物进行了积极的研究。然而，仅从人文科学的角度来看，这种方法有其局限性。因此，我们试图从自然科学的角度和现场调查的角度对现有文献进行跨学科的重新检查，同时重点关注古代通古斯文化的生产方面。在与海外研究人员的合作中，我们的研究重点是古代通古斯文化与自然对其形成的巨大影响之间的关系。我们可以通过以自然科学为基础的方法和知识，重新审视它的生产系统、货物分配和环境(山上的火山活动。鹤头山[Mt.长白山/山白格杜桑]、其生命形式的生态和特征、地方病等)，以及其语言和精神文化。

We could realize the anticipated results through the process of this research project - "A Reinspection of Old Tungus Production Culture : From the Viewpoint of Technological and Natural Sciences".In researching the fundamental factors of the Ching Manchurian, Korean and Japanese cultures, it is indispensable to study the ancient Tungus culture and active study has been carried out using both historical documents and archaeological relics. However, such an approach merely in view of human science has its limitations. We therefore tried to conduct interdisciplinary reinspection of existing documents from the viewpoint of natural science as well as on-site investigations, while focusing on the production aspects of the ancient Tungus culture. In cooperation with overseas researchers, our approach was centred on the relationships between ancient Tungus culture and the great effects of nature on the formation of it. We could reexamined, through methods and knowledge based on natural science, its production system, distribution of goods, and environments (the volcanic activities of Mt. Haktousan [Mt. Changbaishan/Mt. Baegdusan], the ecology and characteristics of its life forms, endemic diseases, etc.), as well as its linguistic and mental cultures.
