摘要
图腾崇拜是人类文化发展的一种现象,是民族繁衍发展的关键元素,在民族文化中占据重要地位。滇、川、黔彝族以“罗罗”自居,自命是虎族的后代。在彝族文化中,虎是天地之源,是虎造天地而生万物,一代又一代彝族人民智慧的积淀,形成了彝族虎图腾文化。彝族先民的丧葬习俗就是虎图腾文化的具体体现,彝王披虎皮显示身份,葬礼中通过披虎皮火化而葬入向天坟中,朝向一定的星辰,生前是虎族死后亦归于虎族,是对民族“人观”的阐释。彝族虎图腾崇拜是族群身份认同、文化教育、生产生活应用等功能的体现,是民族生存和发展的归属。
Totem worship is a phenomenon of human cultural development,a key element of national reproduction and development,and plays an important role in national culture.The Yi people living at the border of Yunnan,Sichuan and Guizhou called themselves “Luo-luo” and claimed to be the descendants of tiger.In their culture,the tiger is the source and creation of the heaven and the earth,and after the accumulation of wisdom of the Yi people from generation to generation,tiger totem culture of the Yi people comes into being.The funeral custom of their ancestors is a concrete manifestation of the tiger totem culture-the king's clothes of tiger skin shows his identity.During the funeral,he is buried in the heavenly grave by the cremation of the tiger skin,and headed to a certain star. The Totem worship of the Yi people is a manifestation of ethnic identity,cultural education,production and life applications,and is the attribution of national survival and development.
