我国北方岩画中的萨满信仰

On Shamanism in Rock Paintings in the North of China

我国北方岩画分布广泛,其中相当一部分岩画的内容与萨满教巫术有一定的联系,北方游牧民族的萨满信仰在岩画艺术中留下了大量的历史痕迹。从这些岩画中既可以看到萨满教自然崇拜、图腾崇拜和祖先崇拜的痕迹,也可以看到萨满教对人类生产、生活和生殖行为的影响。

Rock paintings are distributed widely in the north of China and a considerable part of the paintings are concerned with Shamanistic witchcraft. Shamanism of northern nomadic people left a lot of historical traces in the rock painting art. From these paintings, we can see the traces of Shaman nature worship, totem worship and ancestor worship as well as the effect of Shamanism on human production, life and reproductive behavior.
