古蜀鸟崇拜研究

Study on the Bird Worship in Ancient Shu

古蜀文明是中华文明的重要组成部分。古蜀诸王族中,柏灌、鱼凫与蒲卑均以某种鸟命名,或含有鸟的元素,有的可能以鸟为图腾。鸟图腾信仰在古蜀族群文化的整合中曾发挥重要作用。成周之会,蜀人以其所崇之鸟文翰进献,与周王室构建了政治联盟关系,周人亦藉此实现了政治文化的整合。古蜀鸟图腾与鸟崇拜兼有族群文化整合与族际文化交流的双重功能,体现着当地先民对不同人群间关系的认知和处理,是当时历史条件下构建人类命运共同体的一种方式。

The ancient Shu civilization is an important part of Chinese civilization. Among the ancient Shu kings,Bai guan,Yu fu and Pu bei were all named after some kind of bird,or contained elements of bird,and some might take bird as totem. Bird totem belief played an important role in the integration of ancient Shu ethnics culture. During the meeting of the Zhou dynasty,the ancient Shu people presented the bird Wen Han which they worshiped on,and built a political alliance relationship with the Zhou dynasty,thus the Zhou people also realized the integration of political culture. Ancient Shu bird totem and bird worship have dual functions of ethnic cultural integration and inter-ethnic cultural exchange. It embodied the understanding and handling of the relationship between different groups of people by local ancestors and was a way to build a community of human destiny under the historical contexts at that time.
