刍议藏族文化中的双色式符号“黑白/红白”及其文化象征

A Brief Discussion on Dual-colored Symbols “Black and White/Red and White” and Their Representation in Tibetan Culture

文章以双色式象征符号"黑白/红白"为切入点,对其两极性成对式出现的对立与统一关系在苯教、佛教、艺术、民俗等不同文化背景中象征的不同文化内涵进行梳理,探讨出无论是根植于原始苯教文化中的"黑白"对立统一关系,还是被古印度佛教文化所影响的"黑白"与"红白"对立统一关系,这两组二元对立构成的象征寓意分别与苯教教义和佛教教义有着一定的渊源关系。

By taking dual-colored symbols ＂black and white/red and white＂ as an entry point, this paper explores the bipolarity that occurs in pairs and their relation of opposition and unification which reflected different cultural contents due to different cultural backgrounds of Bonism, Buddhism, art, and folk customs. This paper draws conclusion that whether the ＂black and white＂ relation of opposition and unification is rooted and originated in Bonism, or ancient Indian Buddhist influences of ＂black and white＂ and ＂red and white＂ relation of opposition and unification, the forming of their symbolization and implication due to the duality has close historical rela- tionship with religious doctrine of both Bonism and Buddhism.
