On the Hunting Culture of Minority Nationalities from the Perspective of Prehistoric Rock Paintings in Guizhou

多彩多姿的贵州岩画记载表明,远古时期的狩猎活动相当频繁。其原因在于当地有丰富的野生动物,这为远古人的生存与发展创造了条件;同时,狩猎成为军事演习、保护农田、部落的娱乐和消遣、民族传统体育的传承与原始巫仪的载体。风格不同、内容繁多的岩画再现了原始社会时期狩猎的生动场面,对深入了解古代贵州少数民族狩猎文化的内涵具有十分重要的价值。

Records on the colorful rock paintings in Guizhou province show that hunting was quite frequent in ancient times. It is because local resources of abundant wild animals created a condition for ancient people to survive and develop; meanwhile,hunting became the carrier of military exercise, farmland protection, tribe＇s entertainment and recreation, minority traditional sports inheritance and primitive witch ceremony. Rock paintings of different styles and vast expanse of contents reproduce a vivid scene where hunting was in vogue in primitive society, and are of great value for us to get an intimate knowledge of the hunting culture of minority nationalities in ancient Guizhou.
