考“马踏飞燕”,识“龙凤文化”

通过对玉雕《马踏飞燕》和铜雕《马踏飞鸠》的比较研究,看出"马踏飞鸟"的造型源自远古华夏两大原始族团的图腾崇拜。东部"华夷"族团的图腾为"凤鸟",西部"诸夏"族团的图腾为"龙马",随着民族的融合与国家的统一,龙马与凤鸟联为一体。所以"马踏飞鸟"造型实际为中国传统"龙凤文化"的形象体现。

Understanding the Culture of "Dragon and Phoenix"with Research into the Jade Carving "Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow"

Comparing jade sculpture "Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow" and the copper sculpture "Culver on Horseback", we can see that the sculpture of "Galloping Horse on Flying Bird" can be traced back to the totem worship in the two Chinese tribe groups of remote antiquity. The Hua tribe groups in the east worshiped Phoenix while the Xia tribe groups in the west worshiped Dragon Horse. With ethnic fusion and the unification of China, Dragon Horse and Phoenix became a unity. Therefore, the sculpture "Galloping Horse on a Flying Swallow" is actually the objectification of the ancient Chinese traditional Dragon and Phoenix culture.
