三星堆青铜树象征性研究

对三星堆遗址二号祭祀坑出土的青铜神树的研究现状进行回顾,从宗教人类学与萨满艺术的角度对其作了新的探讨,认为树与鸟相结合的表现形式是萨满艺术中“世界之轴”或“萨满树”的典型特征,是萨满和巫师进行祭祀时沟通天地的主要道具.文章呼吁,对这类意识信仰的产品我们除了文献资料以外,还应该利用宗教人类学方法来深入解读其深层的涵义.

Symbolic Research of the Bronze Trees from Sanxingdui

On the basis of previous studies of the bronze trees unearthed from the second ritual pit at Sanxingdui, the paper provides a new perspective in terms of religious anthropology and shamanistic art which regards these trees as the symbol of "world shaft" or "Shamanistic tree" and the prop used by Shaman to communicate the universe. The article appeals that in addition to historical documents, we have to rely anthropological approaches to interpret these products of human ideology as well.
