“熊龙”再探

Reexplore“Alex Yoong”

在学界曾引起一时轰动的"熊龙"说,把论述的焦点集中在红山文化的玉雕熊龙和辽河流域农业文明的狭小圈子里,其局限性是显而易见的。红山文化中的玉雕熊龙比彩陶龙要晚,而后者来源于中原的仰韶文化,更早可追溯到长江流域以南的印纹陶。其原型则是虹,集自然崇拜、图腾崇拜和祖先崇拜于一体,更包含着天人合一的人文精神。龙的起源与原始稻作文明"靠天吃饭"对水的依赖息息相关。只有从龙的司雨属性及其与稻作文明的密切关系出发,来理解龙的原型及其文化内涵,才能把握中华龙文化的精髓。

'Alex Yoong'said,which has caused a sensation in the academic community,the discussion focused on Jade Alex Yoong and the narrow circle of agricultural civilization in the Liaohe River Basin,its limitations are obvious.Jade Alex Yoong in Hongshan Culture was later than painted dragon,the latter from the Central Plains of the Yangshao culture,the earlier can be traced back to stamped pottery of the south of the Yangtze River Basin.Its prototype is the rainbow,set the natural worship,totem worship and ancestor worship in one,but also contains the human spirit of the unity of man and nature.The origin of the dragon and'at the mercy of the forces of nature'of the primitive rice civilization is closely related to water.Only from the rain attribute of the dragon and the close relationship of rice civilization,to understand the dragon prototype and its cultural connotation,we can grasp the essence of the Chinese dragon culture.
