熊神崇拜与先民信仰——由叶舒宪的《熊图腾》说起

Bear Worship and Ancestor Belief——Based on Ye Shuxian's Bear Totem

叶舒宪教授的《熊图腾》一书,重构了一个失落已久的熊神崇拜的传统,在人类文化的广阔背景上探讨了熊图腾文化的普遍性,说明了人类文明对于农业社会之前的狩猎生活及信仰的遗忘。启示我们要跳出汉文本的主流定势和制约,从文学、历史和神话的多重角度反思农耕与文明的局限。

Ye Shuxian＇s Bear Totem reconstructs a tradition of Bear Totem that lost for a long time, which discusses the universality of Bear totem culture in a broad background of human culture and explains the oblivion of hunting life and belief before agricuhural society. It gives us a enlightenment that we should go beyond the mainstream rut and condition of Chinese culture, and rethink the limit of agriculture and culture through the aspects of literature, history and mythology.
