文化地理学复习试题及答案

论述题(10*10=100) 1:试论述生产文化的地域性 2:怎样理解生活文化的地域性 3:影响物质文化地域性的因素有哪些? 4:怎样理解语言与地理、社会环境的关系? 5:地名的主要性能(性质和职能)是什么?地名景观的种类有哪几种? 6:宗教与地理环境存在什么样的关系? 7:你对文学的地域差异及与地理环境的关系有怎样的理解? 8:文化生态学: 9:怎样理解文化发展与自然环境间的关系 10:应用文化生态学研究文化地理学问题应注意些什么(简答) 1:(1)农业文化具有地域性,世界农业文化文化区的存在就是农业文化区域性的充分表现。根据其鲜明的地域特点,分布上可分为热带雨林农业文化区、草原农业文化区、干旱沙漠农业区文化区等8大农业文化区。(2)工业产业文化的地域性,一般遵循工业产业分布的特点和区域差异。由于不同的工业生产的所要 求的各类要素的配置不一样,所以工业产业就形成了明显的的地区差异。此外,特定时期的国家政策也会对工业生产的布局带来影响。 2:主要可以分为衣、食、住三个方面进行分析。 (1)服饰文化:在衣着方式、制衣布料、服饰色彩、服装形态等方面都有鲜明的地域性。如制衣布料,因其衣料资源的分布差异,早期的地区差异明显:中国广泛使用丝绸,南亚多用黄麻,靠近北极都用兽毛衣料。

(2)饮食文化:在食物原料、烹饪等方面,区域间都出现了差异。因各地食材不同,人们口味不一,形成了“南甜北咸”的八大菜系。 (3)居住文化:区域差异主要体现在建筑风格、建筑材料和居住形式。因地域气候、资源等自然条件不用,就形成了口袋房、四合院、洞穴式、干栏式等风格形式的建筑。 3:(1)自然因素:主要指自然地理环境:气候通过对生产、生活各个方面的影响而形成与各地气候条件相符的物质文化;地形和水文因素对于生产和生活方式有重要影响;而地质和生物对居住文化、交通运输、饮食结构都有一定影响。 (2)社会、人文因素:首先经济条件决定了物质文化的内容、发展的水平和方向,其变化还影响着居住文化;再者民族文化与宗教信仰对信仰宗教的民族的物质文化有重要影响;其次文化交流、民族交往可以使个民族、各地区的物质文化相互交融和吸纳。 4:语言的产生、发展和演变,以及分布格局等于地理环境及社会环境之间存在着密不可分的关系。 (1)环境与语言的产生:首先语言中的词汇受环境的影响的最大、最直接;其次,环境过语言来作用于语音,地理环境的不同造成人心理上、生理上的差异,从而引起人语音、声调以及表达感情方式的不尽相同;环境还对语言的语法产生有影响,环境塑造出的民族心态会在语法上体现。 (2)环境对语言插播、演进的影响:语言自身的发展深受自然环境和社会历史条件变化的影响。自然环境条件的差异往往会促进或阻碍语言的传播,从未形成了方言;而人文环境的对语言的影响主要体现在:行政区域、移民、国家政策及经济水平等因素对语言发展的强烈影响。行政区域的划分和建制往往对语言的传播扩散骑着决定性作用。国家的方针则往往通过影响移民来影响语言的扩散。 5:地名的主要性能是:社会性、历史性、文物性、指位性、地域性、稳定性、可变性和衍生性。地名景观的种类:山水地名(赤峰、华山)、示位地名(山南水北为阳,衡阳)、寄意地名(西安、宝鸡)、特产地名(盐城)、民
