The Totemism of Shang Race and It's Correlative Questions

把“玄鸟生商”作为商族起源说是东周人的假说讹传 ,仅是一种神话传说。甲骨文中的亥的“亥”字上有鸟之形 ,也不代表商族与鸟有关系。卜辞的“商”字反映出了商人对“辛”的重视 ,是商人图腾形象升华为具有文化象征意义符号的体现。而殷墟青铜器中最为多见的饕餮纹饰显然是商人图腾崇拜的象征 ,而这种纹饰就是中华民族共同的龙图腾。

To say that A Black Bird Gave Birth to Shang,which was brought forward by East Zhou people, is just an erroneousness, a fairy story. One character of the Oracle Bone Inscriptions Hai has a figure of a bird, but that doesn't mean Shang Race related with birds. According to the character Shang in the Oracular Inscriptions, we can see the Shang people attached importance to Xin, and it can be regarded as the embodiment that Shang people sublimed their totemic figures to the emblem of cultural symbolism. The grains and adornings are very familiar on the bronze vessels which were unearthed from the Yin Ruins, obviously they are the symbols of Shang people's totemism as well as the collective Dragon Totem of Chinese people.
