渭河上游彩陶中的伏羲女娲图像及其内在含义

The Image of Fuxi and Nvwa in the Painted Pottery in the Upper Reaches of the Weihe River and its Internal Meaning

伏羲、女娲图像是渭河上游彩陶纹饰、造型的重要母题之一,渭河上游地区彩陶在大地湾、西山坪、马家窑、冯家坪遗址中均有出土,包括独立女娲形象造型、龙纹图腾、合体的伏羲女娲图像等,出土数量较多、造型独特。虽然年代不同,但龙图像、女娲图像、伏羲女娲图像的造型样式却是一脉相承的,嬗变痕迹明显可见。这些出土的伏羲女娲图像体现了相同的外在形式与精神内涵,说明渭河流域是伏羲、女娲神话传说的发源地之一;从中隐约可以看到伏羲、女娲原始信仰之传播过程。作为华夏文明的本源和民族文化的母体,伏羲女娲神话对中华文化和民族精神产生了广泛影响。

Nvwa image is one of the important motifs of the decorative patterns and shapes of painted pottery in the upper reaches of the Weihe River.Painted pottery in the upper reaches of the Weihe River has been unearthed in the sites of Dadiwan,Xishanping,Majiayao,and Fengjiaping,including the image of independent Nvwa,the totem of dragon patterns,and the image of Fuxi and Nuwa in combination.There are many unearthed objects with unique shapes.Although the ages are different,the modeling styles of the dragon image,Nvwa image and Fuxi&Nvwa image come down in one continuous line,and the traces of evolution are obvious.These unearthed images of Fuxi and Nvwa reflect the same external form and spiritual connotation,indicating that the Weihe River basin is one of the birthplaces of Fuxi and Nvwa’s myths and legends;From it,we can vaguely see the spreading process of the primitive beliefs of Fuxi and Nvwa.As the origin of Chinese civilization and the mother of national culture,the myth of Fuxi&Nvwa has exerted a wide influence on Chinese culture and national spirit.
