玉树通天河流域岩画中犬图像研究

The Study on Dog Image of Rock Art of Tongtian River Basin in Yushu

玉树通天河流域岩画是近年来新发现的岩画点,岩画内容丰富,题材广泛。岩画中的犬图像数量仅次于牦牛图像和鹿图像,不仅在玉树通天河流域岩画中占有重要位置,而且在青海岩画中亦占据着绝对优势。作为青藏高原早期的历史文化遗存,笔者认为早期的犬图像反映了青藏高原的原始动物崇拜,是犬的神秘观念的表现,晚期的犬图像则是日常生活情景的再现,这一发展变化反映了犬图像从神圣逐渐走向世俗的过程。

Rock art in Yushu Tongtian River Basin is a newly discovered rock art sites in recent years,which has rich contents and extensive subjects. The number of dog images in rock art is third only to that of yakimages and deer images. It not only occupies an important place in the rock art of the Yushu Tongtian River Ba-sin, but also occupies an absolute advantage in Qinghai rock art. As the early historical and cultural relics of theQinghai-Tibet Plateau, the author thinks that the early dog images reflect the primitive animal worship of theQinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is the manifestation of the mysterious idea of the dog. The late dog image is the re-production of the daily life scene. The development of dog images reflects the process from sacred to secular.
