土家族生殖崇拜的物态象征

The Symbol of Materialization about Procreation Worship of Tujia Ethnic Minority

土家族的生殖崇拜观念根源于原始社会,是土家族生命意识与务实精神的体现。与对人格化生殖神的信仰不同,土家族对男根、女阴、母腹等人类生殖器的崇拜,对蛋卵、动植物、太阳与火等自然生殖物的崇拜,虽然都是生殖崇拜的具体表现,却在客观世界具有一定的物态象征。土家族生殖崇拜的物态象征既是其民族生殖文化的外显特征,又是生殖崇拜存于土家族文明史的重要见证。

The concept of procreation worship in Tujia people is rooted in primitive society,and is the embodiment of the life consciousness and pragmatic spirit of the Tujia people.Different from the belief in the personified God of procreation,Tujia People’s worship of human genitalia such as the male penis,the female vagina and the mother’s abdomen and the worship of natural genitalia such as eggs,animals and plants,the sun and fire,are all concrete manifestations of the worship of procreation.Those has a certain state of materialized symbol in the objective world.The material symbol of Tujia people procreation worship is not only the explicit feature of its national procreation culture,but also an important witness of the procreation worship existence in the history of Tujia people civilization.
