盘古之魂葬花都——古南海、盘古国、盘古墓考

摘要

古南海在今珠江三角洲,原本是三江流注的广州溺谷湾,全新世海侵淹没了整个溺谷湾,12 000年的泥沙堆积形成了今天的珠江三角洲。今广东花县一带曾为古南海包围,无论从地理还是古代建置隶属来看,都处在古南海核心区。大量文献记载崇拜盘古的瑶族先人在南海中居停的历史,表明这里就是古盘古国。花县到明清时代仍是南海瑶人的根据地,处在盘古国的核心地区,狮岭的盘古神坛是南海中瑶人盘古信仰的中心,根据其所处的环境、地形、规格、性质等方面看,此处即古人所谓＂葬盘古之魂＂的＂南海盘古氏墓＂。%Ancient South China Sea referred to today＇s sedimentary Pearl River Delta,once named Nigu Cove that the Xi Jiang,Bei Jiang and Dong Jiang rivers run into and that was flooded by the sea during the Holocene around 10,000 BC.Hua County（now Huadu District in Guangdong）,surrounded by Ancient South China Sea,was a geographical and administrative centre.It was proved to be the centre of Pangu Land,home to Yao People＇s ancestry in Ming and Qing dynasties according to historical records.Pangu Altar in Shiling Town,the Holy Land for Yao People,may be predictably the legendary Pangu tomb for its environment,topography,size and nature.
