摘要
据彝文典籍史料《彝族源流》、《彝族人类起源》和《彝族人类历史》等中的记载,远古彝族有哎、哺、宜、舍、尼、能、实勺、咪、吐、楚、那、濮、罗、果等十四大支系部落。尼与能起源于母系氏族社会对女祖魂的崇拜,也具有"天、母、女"的含义。若干世纪以后,以虎为图腾,又以太阳为崇拜对象的罗(虎)氏部落,罗(虎)部等氏支又从尼部族中分了几支出来,以"罗"为虎。四川广汉"三星堆"出土的文物和三峡巴人故地考古出土的文物中,虎龙形雕塑、雕刻,也随处可见。根据许多彝汉文献中的记载与考古发掘资料,笔者认为"三星堆"文化的史前渊源也就是后来的彝族先民的祭祀文化渊源的足迹,"三星堆"文化的延续也就是当今彝民族祭祀文化的风俗遗存。
Documents reveal that the Yi people had 14 tribes in the ancient times.The worship for female ancestors was popular in the maternal society in such tribes as Ni and Neng.Later the worship was extended to the sun in some ancient Yi tribes.It is assumed that the Sanxindui Culture excavated in Guanghan of Sichuan Province shows the living situations and cultural origins of the Yi ancestors.
