透视“人面鱼纹”的生死意象

The Image of Life and Death from the “Human Face and Fish Lines”

"人面鱼纹盆"作为儿童葬具的事实决定了"人面鱼纹"与人的生死问题之间存在着意义关联;鱼原型的生命意象与夭儿生命终止事件的组合,构成了人面鱼纹意象的核心。它与图腾、巫术、生殖崇拜等无关,其隐含的是半坡人参悟生死,对气韵流转、生命生生不息的终极问题的思考。

The fact that the “human face and fish lines bowl”as children’ s burial equipmentproves that there is a connection between the “human face and fish lines”and people’ s lifeand death. The image of fish as life, together with the death of children, forms the core imageof“human face and fish lines” . It has nothing to do with totem, witchcraft or reproductive wor-ship, rather, it reflects the Banpo people’ s thinking of life and death.
