谈彩陶鹳鱼石斧图的巫画性质

河南汝州阎村出土的仰韶文化鹳鱼石斧图彩陶缸,学术界一直将其绘画内容视作上古时期的图腾画。笔者研究认为,这幅彩陶画与传统意义上的图腾画在性质上有较大区别,经比较研究同时期其他地区出土彩陶绘画可以发现,这幅史前鹳鱼石斧图,应该归入巫画的范畴。

The painted pottery jar of stork fish and stone axe painting of Yangshao culture unearthed from Yah Village of Ruzhou in Henan Province, which has been regarded as tile totem painting in the ancient times by academic circles. The author considered through studying that this pottery painting is quite different in na- ture with painting totem in traditional sense. Through the comparative study of other regions during the same period unearthed pottery painting that can be found, this stork fish and stone axe painting should be classified into the category of witch paintings.
