从原始岩画看原始意识——由“具茨天书”的发现说开去

中原岩画的首次发现,折射出人类文明进步过程中走过的共同道路。中原岩画的早早消失,说明这些人为的敬畏早已成了历史的陈迹,中原居民在认识人类自身的力量以后,很快把自然神作为人类社会组织的附属,中原政治是一种世俗政治;岩画集中而保存完好的少数民族地区,在人类文明时代的地平线上徘徊时间较长,自然神和宗教政治长期作为一统治思想而存在,巫术是氏族部落的稳定剂。但意识形态的发展是跳跃性的,思想一旦与先进的文明相碰撞,便如脱疆的野马,一跃从百年不变程式化思维的鸿沟上越过,自觉不自觉地开始了文化的交融。

Primitive Consciousness Revealed in Primitive Rock Paintings: A Meditation upon the Discovery of "Juci's Books from Heaven"

The discovery of the rock paintings in Central Plains reveals that civilizations have in common the same course of advancement. The earlier disappearance of the rock paintings in Central Plains indicates that the awe of the residents there vanished very early, suggesting that they looked upon nature gods as subordinate to social organizations immediately after realizing the power of human beings and that the politics in Central Plains then was secular. In minority nationality regions where extant rock paintings concentrate, the civilized period came much later than that in Central Plains, the worship of nature gods and religious politics existed long as dominant ideology, and witchery played a role of the stabilizer in the clans. Nevertheless, ideology tends to bound forward: once encountering advanced cultures, less developed thoughts are inclined to leap over stereotyped thinking and identify with them.
