马社考——从对马的崇拜到龙马精神形成的发展历程

Study on the Fete of Horse:the Development History from the Adoration of Horse to the Emergence of Vigorous Spirit

马社,这是农业史和畜牧史研究中,很少有人涉猎的问题。马社起源于对马和最早开始驯养马的祖先的崇拜。由此开展的祭祀活动本身是一种综合性的多功能的社会活动。那些和专业技术有关的活动也同时举办。这无疑对养马业的发展产生促进作用。马社也是养马人精神聚会组织。由对马的崇拜,进而产生了对龙马的尊崇,进而发展为龙马精神。这其中反映出我们民族精神的发展轨迹。

Fete of horse is a topic seldom touched by the scholars in the study of agricultural history and animal husbandry history. The origin of the fete of horse is the adoration of horse and those ancestors who first domesticated horses. The fete itself is a social activity with comprehensive meanings and multiple functions and those activities related with special technology are held at the same time, which will definitely promote the development of the horse husbandry. The fete of horse is a spirit gathering of horse trainers and the adoration of horse has gradually changed to the adoration of the dragon horse as time goes on. Finally, the vigorous spirit has come into being. This course is a reflection of the development of our national spirit.
