中國地理大發(fā)現(xiàn)指以黃河流域為中心的華夏文明對自身與周邊地理環(huán)境的探索和認知，指以中土為中心的中原文明對自身與域外地理環(huán)境的探索和認知，指文明社會對前所未知的地理世界的探索和認知。我們追尋張騫通西域、唐僧取經(jīng)、鄭和下西洋的足跡，探尋長江、黃河、淮河的源頭，揭開羅布泊、黃土高原成因之謎，發(fā)現(xiàn)第四紀冰川的遺跡，攀登珠穆朗瑪峰，深入小寨天坑，回眸地球生命誕生之初，遙想徐福東渡前后……讓我們知曉這些大發(fā)現(xiàn)的來龍去脈，記住這些發(fā)現(xiàn)者，傳承他們孜孜不倦、堅韌不拔的探索精神，奉獻我們的心智于廣袤無垠、氣象萬千的中華大地，進而續(xù)寫中國地理大發(fā)現(xiàn)的華章。
