汉译英 作为远古人类留给我们的宝贵的文化遗产,岩画堪称是记载人类早期社会生活的百科全书,它不仅传承着源远流长的古代文明,也是史前人类文化、宗教、民俗以及原始艺术史的见证。 在世界上,中国岩画是诞生最早、分布最广、内容最丰富的国家之一,而贺兰山又是华夏土地上遗存最集中、题材最广泛、保存最完好的岩画地区之一。在贺兰山腹地,共发现20余处遗存岩画,其中最具代表性的是贺兰山贺兰口岩画。 贺兰山岩画在山口内外分布着近6000幅岩画,其中罕为人见的人面像岩画就有70幅之多。据考证,贺兰山口岩画是不同时期先后刻制的,大多为北方游牧民族创作.岩画造型粗犷稚拙、构图朴实自然,牛、马、驴、鹿、鸟、虎等动物栩栩如生,各种人头的造型同样是千奇百态。凭着自己对社会现实的理解与感悟,对美好生活的追求与向往,把自己的亲身感受与体验,忠实地记录在岩石之上,同时也为后人留下了神秘瑰丽的贺兰山岩画。 有学者说贺兰口是史前人类凭借自然魅力打造的祭祀圣地,又有专家认为,贺兰口岩画是象形文字前的图画文字,在文字没有发明前,这里的人们艰难地把他们的理想、愿望、欢乐、悲伤,通过岩画的形式表现出来。于是,在亘古不变的贺兰山上,写就了一部史前人类的“天书”。
