Abstract
It is an inevitable and key question of defining Shangqiu ancient city in the study of social history of Shangqiu.Song Capital,Suiyang City in Qin and Han Dynasties,Song Cities in Sui and Tang Dynasties,Nanjing City in Song Dynasty,Guide City in Ming Dynasty and so on,are major city and regional center of politics,economy and culture in Chinese history.The cultural connotations in different stages of Shangqiu ancient city,such as Ancestor Culture,Shang Culture,and Fire Culture,are not only the origin of Chinese National Culture but also the distinctive culture of Shangqiu City.Due to objective and subjective reasons,the dissociation between signified and signifier of Shangqiu ancient city has led to divergences of opinions among researchers concerned.The introduction of the concept of Shangqiu ancient city is helpful to reconcile these urban forms in different important stages of historical development of Shangqiu,conducive to excavation,promotion and generalization of its connotation,more advantageous to the integration of its traditional cultures.
