鹿鸣在深草

Deer Bleats in the Expanse of Grassland

鹿自古以来就是人类温驯美丽的伴侣,早在旧石器时代,我国的原始人类遗址中就广泛发现食鹿或使用鹿骨的痕迹。新石器时代,北至红山南到福建的遗址中鹿的发现更为普遍,显示出当时我国境内鹿的种属和数量都相当可观,是先民主要的猎食对象。这一时期,关于鹿的原始艺术也开始出现,上海广富林遗址出土的良渚陶尊上曾发现一个简单的刻画鹿纹,线条虽然稚拙,但非常突出地描绘了高耸于头顶的鹿角.

Since the ancient times, deer has been docile and beautiful partner for the humankind. Traced back to the Paleolithic Age, traces of deer eating or deer bone usage are widely found in primitive human sites across China. Deer traces are more widely discovered in the ruins of the Neolithic Age from Hongshan Site in the north to Fujian in the south. This proves that species and number of deer used to be quite considerable in China, and deer used to be the ancestors＇ prey.
