最早的羌人形象图--姜窝子沟岩画双人舞蹈图像初探

On Figure Picture of the Earliest Qiang People:Pair Dance Image of Cliff Painting in Jiangwogouzi of Hongshui Village in Jingtai County

地处新疆阿尔泰山、甘肃祁连山、宁夏贺兰山、内蒙古阴山山脉呈弯月带状中段,属于中国北方岩画中间带的甘肃省景泰县姜窝子沟岩画中,有一幅双人舞蹈图像:一人披发饰尾,手掌伸展;一人手持器物,或为一男一女,应为男女巫觋。其右侧人物的发式为披发,而非辫发。参考河西魏晋墓砖画少数民族人物发式及学界观点,应为早期羌人形象。景泰一带上古时期,为西戎或羌人游牧之地。因此,景泰县姜窝子沟岩画中的双人舞蹈图像,应该是最早的羌人形象图。

In the rock painting of Jiangwuzigou,Jingtai County,Gansu Province,which is located in the middle of the curved moon belt of the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang,Qilian Mountains in Gansu,Helan Mountains in Ningxia,and Yin Mountains in Inner Mongolia,and belongs to the middle belt of rock paintings in northern China,there is a double dance image:one person with hair decorated with tail and palms extended;one person holding an object,or a man and a woman,which should be a male and female wizard.The hair style of the figure on the right is draped,not braided.Referring to the hair style of the minority figures in the tomb brick paintings of the Wei and Jin dynasties in Hexi and the views of the academic community,it should be the image of early Qiang people.In the ancient period,Jingtai was a nomadic place for Xiongnu or Qiang people.Therefore,the double dance image in the rock painting of Ji⁃angwozigou in Jingtai County should be the earliest image of the Qiang people.
