摘要
“兽食人”是商周青铜器纹饰中非常重要的一种题材,通常由兽、人或人首两部分组成,此类纹饰的起源至少可以追溯至新石器时代晚期长江中下游地区石家河文化的跪坐抱鱼陶塑,以及良渚文化玉器装饰的神人神兽纹样,是祈求神灵庇佑的原始宗教信仰的物化表现。
The theme of“beast eating human”is an important subject of decorative designs on bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.It usually consists of two parts:the beast and the human or the human head.Origins of this theme can be traced back to the fish-holding kneeling pottery figure in the Shijiahe Culture,which is mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the late Neolithic Age,and patterns of divine figures and beasts on jade vessels in the Liangzhu Culture.The theme is deemed the objectification of the primitive religious prayers for gods’blessings.
