黑河新开岭-石头人岩画及其男根形象

Xinkailing - Stone Man Rock Paintings in Heihe and Their Male Root Images

2015年12月,在中国东北发现了一处带有岩画的新考古遗址,即新开岭—石头人遗址。遗址位于小兴安岭的山地之间。遗址的核心形象为作为男根崇拜仪式形象的拟人男根。岩画的男根形象及与之有关的神话观念、仪式行为,是生育的宗教巫术保障的手段之一。强调男性生殖力的重要性,并指出其来源即是男根本质、精神或祖先。位于男根附近的圆形斑点和椭圆形为代表女性的符号,是外阴的象征。男根形象和女性符号是基于对于生殖、繁育、传承和源于一个祖先的世代统一的古老观念的视觉表达。新开岭—石头人岩画属于青铜时代至早期铁器时代欧亚大陆的森林岩画。民族文化的确证目前尚不可能。
