大汶口文化的新发现

Recent Discoveries of the Dawenkou Culture

新见在江苏邳州大墩子大汶口遗址出土的一些重要器物,其中阳鸟石璧和骨雕鸟上的阳鸟刻画,从考古遗存上对夷族的太阳崇拜和鸟图腾说提供了证据。獐牙勾形器柄上的刻符与《系辞》中八卦卦形符号相同,证明八卦起源于五千年前的大汶口文化时期,比通常认为易学萌芽于商周之际早两千余年。为研究东夷文明增添了宝贵的新资料。

Some important artifacts recently unearthed fromthe Dawenkou cultural site of Dadunzai in Pizhou, Jiangsu inclilding a stone bi with engraved sun and bird and a earved bone bird with engraved san and bird provide the archaeological evidence for the theory of sun - worship and bird totem in dongyi tribes. The engraved symbols on the handles of hook - shaped artifacts made of roe canines are similar to those of the Eight Diagrams recorded in Xici suggest that the Eight Diagrams originated from the Dawenkou period dating to five thousand years ago. It is earlier two thousand years than the popular point of view that the yi theory originated in the cross period of Shang and Zhou. The new discovery provides the valuable materials for investigating the dongyi civilization.
