科尔沁博的尚黑礼俗

Worship of Black Color of Horchin People

生态环境造就了科尔沁的色彩文化,科尔沁博传播保存了尚黑风骨。科尔沁博尚黑的传统表征、宗教内涵、祭祀仪式佐证:上古尚黑,黑色地位最高;中古尚白,白色最神圣;尚黑随着蒙古人生产方式由狩猎进化为游牧而分化;尚白随着蒙古人畜牧业的发展而固化。从宗教意义上讲,尚黑因科尔沁博的衰落淡化,尚白因喇嘛教的盛行强化。尚黑、尚白、尚蓝均是蒙古人传统习俗。

Ecological environment brings up the Horchin color culture which keeps the worship of black color. It shows that Mongolian people worshiped black color in the ancient times; white color in mediaeval times. The two separated with the changing from hunting to nomadic life and gradually the development of the animal husbandry made the worship of white color more stable. Religiously, worship of black color was weakened by the decline of Horchin tribe while worship of white color became popular and strengthened with the Lama religion. The worship of black, white and blue color are all the customs of Mongolian people.
