凉山彝族生命树崇拜的文化阐释
Cultural Interpretation of Life Tree Worship of the Yi Nationality in Liangshan Prefecture
【摘要】 生命树是自然界中万物蓬勃生长,永久长生的象征,其地位至高无上,彝族对生命树的崇拜历史悠久,认为生命树中居住着神仙或精灵,还具有通神、通灵和通天的功能。生命树是彝族人心目中十分重要的神物,拥有强大生命力的枝繁叶茂的树,更成为彝族家支繁衍的精神寄托,成为五谷丰登、六畜兴旺、人丁繁衍和生命永生的象征。它是生命的源头、万物的本源、力量的源泉。彝族先民对于生命树信仰,是基于模拟巫术的相似律和交感巫术的接触律的崇拜。实际上,这种崇拜已不仅仅是彝族人对生命树本身的生殖崇拜,而是上升为生命意识,它是古老的生命之源符号,是古彝人天人感应、人神互通和天人合一哲学思想的真实写照,也是生命永生不息的哲学观念主题。
【Abstract】 The tree of life is the symbol of the vigorous growth and eternal life of all things in nature.Its position is supreme. The worship of the tree of life by the Yi people has a long history. It is believed that there are immortals or spirits living in the tree of life,and it also has the functions of synaesthesia,synaesthesia and heaven. The tree of life is a very important spiritual object in the mind of the Yi people. It has strong vitality and flourishing leaves. It has become the spiritual sustenance of the Yi people’s family and the symbol of the prosperity of grain,six animals,the reproduction of human beings and the immortality of life. It is the source of life,of all things,of power. The belief of Yi ancestors in the tree of life is based on the similarity law of imitating witchcraft and the contact law of sympathetic witchcraft. In fact,this worship is not only the reproductive worship of the tree of life itself,but also the rising consciousness of life. It is an ancient symbol of the source of life,a true portrayal of the ancient Yi people’s philosophical thought of the induction between heaven and man,the exchange of gods and the unity of heaven and man,and also the theme of the eternal philosophy of life.
