从红山文化的遗存浅析红山文化中的祖先崇拜

Ancestor Worship of Hongshan Culture from the Hongshan Culture Relics

古代历史中的很多传说都是关于帝王的故事,这些传说多数都与农业生产生活中的发明创造是有关系的,这就充分说明,那个时代的部族首领对部族当时生产和生活的重要性。在当时极其恶劣的生存环境下,这些首领所做出的贡献应该是现实的,是具有实际意义的,所以,他们必然会取代当时部族所信奉的各种图腾崇拜和生殖崇拜,并且有些部族不再以图腾神作为本氏族的名称,而是用祖先的名字来命名。从这里,我们可以清楚地看到原始宗教已经由最初对自然的崇拜发展到了人文崇拜的过程。

Many legends in ancient history are about the story of the emperors, which are related to the creation of the inventions in the agricultural production and life. At the time of extremely harsh living environment, the contribution made by these leaders should be realistic, which has the practical significance, so they will replace the totem worship and the reproduction worship, and some tribes no longer use a totem god as the name of the gens, but use the name of the ancestor, which indicates that the original religion has developed from the original worship of nature to human worship.
