How does human prehistoric thought originate? How is human spiritual civilization born?,At the same time, it is also related to the core issues of early human civilization,Prehistoric Intellectual,That is the symbolic system of prehistoric human (Symbolic System)。The symbolic system is not only artistic performance、Funeral Practice and Social System,And as a person's characteristics。but,The right to speak this topic is often controlled by Europe,It is particularly dominated by the number and distribution of cave rock paintings in the late Paleolithic era.。

The late art and rock paintings in the late Paleolithic Age in the Far East, especially in my country, seem to be an forgotten academic field,But it is one of the most watched archeological topics in the world。Cave rock paintings in the Cantibrian Mountains in southern Western Europe are not only the earliest in the world、Gathering of Human Art Works of the Late Stone Age of Paleolithic Age,At the same time, it has always been considered the origin of human art and symbolic thinking,People believe "this lamp has been shining in the bright and dazzling Europe",This is also one of the roots of the European central theory。But in this regard,The European Center Theory has been challenging with the new discoveries of archeological materials in recent years。2007,M. Aubert at the University of Greefis, Australia, and others carried out the annual uranium test of East Timor's animal rock paintings,I found that the era was more than 20,000 years ago。Later,Orbert and others also carried out an uranium test of animals and handprints in the animal and fingerprints in Leang Timpuseng, Indonesia.,Get 40,000 years of ancient data。2019,The earliest human hunting rock paintings in the cave in the cave in the cave of Steraweson 4 (LeANG BULU 'Sipong 4) did the year of uranium bet365 Play online games test,As a result, the ancient data of 43900 years was obtained。

The significance of the annual measurement is not only to confirm the ancient nature of the late rock paintings in the old stone in Asia,and break the European center theory on the issue of the origin of art and spiritual civilization。Because of this,The "Science" magazine in the United States will list the discovery of the Sulawesi update of the Sulawesi in Indonesia and the determination of the age as one of the TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGHS。Although the ancient nature of the Asian rock painting era has been confirmed,However, the new problem also follows。After all, in terms of quantity,​​Di Lishi Times cave rock paintings in southern Europe reached hundreds of places,Can more than a dozen Paleolithic Relators in Southeast Asia be competed with the late rock paintings? Since Asian rock paintings and European rock paintings are equally ancient,So who affects whom? Or Europe and Asia are "flow",Another more old "source",Just not discovered yet? Obel and others tend to latter。The author also agrees with his opinion,And further believes that this older "source" is likely to be in Yunnan, China。This is mainly based on the large -scale discovery of the large -scale discovery of the painted rock painting of Jinshajiang, Yunnan in 2017,and the anthropological theory of Austronesian Dispersal (Austronesian Dispersal)。

 The importance of Jinshajiang rock painting is reflected

Jinshajiang painted rock paintings are very similar in style with cave rock paintings in the Campbrian region in Chanterbrian, Europe, especially in Surawishi, Indonesia.。other,The types of animals expressed in the two places also have more kinship,such as wild boar、Deer Pool、貘、Antelope、Niu, etc.。early 21st century,Australian scholar Paul and others noticed the similarity between the Jinshajiang Rock painting and the European Paleolithic Naturalist style rock painting。He and archeologists of the Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology, my country in China wrote "Naturalism: The Style bet365 live casino games and Nature of Jinshajiang Rock in Yunnan, China",Published in the British "Cambridge Archaeological Magazine"。They compare the style of Jinsha River Rock painting and the old stone in the southern Europe.,It has caused great interest in the international academic community。Due to the emergence of the Neolithic Age in Yunnan in the Jinshajiang Rock painting, animals (such as "貘"),So the ancient nature of rock paintings is beyond doubt。Jinshajiang Rock painting since the first discovery in 1988,More than 80 places have been found so far。2012,Paul and others cooperate with the Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology in Yunnan Province,An uranium measurement year for the painting rock paintings of Baiyun Bay of Jinsha River,The annual report was published in the United States "Archaeological Science Magazine",Title of "The Annual Test of the Uranium Story of Southwest Rock Painting",The age of rock painting is 5738 years ago。

2016-2018,Hebei Normal University International Rock Painting Troubled Center、Yunnan Province Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Cultural Relics Management Office、Yunnan Province Diqing Cultural Relics Protection Society、Xi'an Jiaotong University formed a joint rock painting inspection team,Investigating 7 painted rock paintings in the Jinhajiang River Basin in Shangri -La, Yunnan,and 5 of them performed the sample collection and age analysis of the uranium measurement of uranium measurement。Although the article measured by the annual report has not been published,But from the current laboratory data,The era of painting rock paintings in the Jinsha River Basin should be in the late Paleolithic era,Among them, 4 data age is 10,000 to 30,000 years,The period of the period of the dating point of Iwa Loloyan painting was 14733 ± 783、14980 ± 637 years。The uranium measurement of the two rock paintings such as Iwate Valley is even more than 20,000 years ago。

The discovery of the artwork of the Paleolithic Age in the past is in my country。Even artworks such as human decorations bet365 Play online games in Europe,In our country, it is also a rare horn,遑。The international rock painting industry once thought,The birthplace of art may be Africa、Europe and even Siberia,But it is impossible to be in Southeast Asia,It's impossible to be in China。But,As far as the current laboratory data is concerned,Indonesian Sulawesi Rock Painting and Jinshajiang Rock painting in Yunnan Province, China,Southeast Asia and China not only exist in the late Paleolithic artworks (including rock paintings),and may be the birthplace of world art and symbolic thinking。

Since the discovery of Jin Shajiang painted rock paintings in 1988,It has attracted close attention in the academic community。From the perspective of artistic style,It has many similarities with cave rock paintings in the European Paleolithic Times,For example, the style of animal theme and naturalism。It has painted rock paintings in the Paleolithic Age more than 40,000 years ago with Indonesia more than 40,000 years ago,There is even more amazing similarities,In addition to the animal theme and animal types except naturalist style,There is also drawing technology、Method and mode (such as the side contour expression method of the side or compound line、Drawing methods overlap together with several animals、Clear bristle 鬣、Line -shaped application method, etc.), etc.。

 Promoting the Study on Jinsha River Rock painting

But only with art research and humanistic research,Always unable to solve the problem of the age of Jinshajiang Rock painting,So his research has not made progress for many years。2014,Sulawesi Paleolithic Pira Stone Age Rock Explanation Year was released after the release of the year,People realize that Southeast Asia is not only one of the birthplaces of human art and symbolic thinking,And before Surawishi and Chanter Bori Anton Cave Rock paintings in Sulawesi and Europe, there may still be more ancient artistic origins,This makes us look at the origin of artistic origin.。Jinshajiang painted rock paintings are not only art works in the late Paleolithic era,and it may be the bet365 Play online games source of world art。Discovery of Rock painting in Paleolithic Rock in Paleolithic Indonesia,It only shakes the European center theory of the origin of art,But after all, there are only a dozen places of the Paleolithic Rock painting,It is not enough to compete with hundreds of rock paintings in the Candabrian cave in Europe。but,More than 80 painted rock painting locations currently discovered in the Jinsha River Basin,Once the era is confirmed,can compete with Europe in terms of quantity,to break the European center theory。

Jinsha River Rock painting is distributed at the Jinsha River and its tributary coast at the junction of the Sichuan -Tibetan and Tibet of the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau,It is mainly made by prehistoric hunting and collecting crowds,It is based on painting rock paintings and chisels、Rock painting group of techniques and other techniques。Jinshajiang rock paintings mostly use depicting techniques、The style of realism,Expressing wild cow、Deer、Rock Sheep、Goat、Wild donkey、Set、獐、Monkey、Mustang、Wild donkey、Bear、Tiger and other animal images,Drawing accuracy、Skilled with a pen、Vivid form。other,There are also characters、Bow and arrow、Hupprint、symbol、Geometric patterns, etc.。Rock paintings at some sites,The image shows that the traces of different colors are overlapping each other,You can analyze the staging of rock painting accordingly。Jinshajiang Rock painting is the oldest painting rock painting in China, which currently has absolute data measurement records,It is a unique type of rock painting that is different from other regions of China,and France、Spanish Paleolithic Age and the Old Stone Age discovered in Southeast Asia are similar to。The Jinsha River Basin has been an important channel for crowd migration and exchanges since ancient times。Today,Live here in Han、Tibet、Naxi、傈僳、Pimi、Yi and other nations。Geographical Landforms in the Jinshajiang area、bet365 live casino games Climate Environment、Diversity of vegetation forest,Including the miscellaneous residence of the human ethnic group,leading to the huge and formal diversity in the number of early rock paintings。Discovery of Jinshajiang Rock painting,Migration for prehistoric modern people in Eurasia、Human spiritual civilization and symbolic thinking、Origin of religious art, etc.,Provided precious archeological evidence。

Under the context of anthropological theory of the spread of the southern island,The rock paintings of Jinsha River and Indonesia in Yunnan, my country should have a relationship or relationship with cultural attributes。The theory of anthropological theory of the diffusion of the South Island ethnic group,Easter Island in the east to East Pacific、Madagascar, West to the Indian Ocean、North to Hawaii and Taiwan、South to New Zealand's area,In the meantime, including Taiwan、Malaysia、Indonesia、Meilanisia、Mikkonisia、Polynesia, etc.,Although the language used in this area is as many as 1000-1200 kinds,but the same language system。Australian scholar Belwood、The late famous American Chinese scholar Zhang Guangzhi and others have learned from linguistics、Archeology、Modern molecular anthropology, etc.、diffusion and distribution。Scholars generally think,The earliest origin of the South Island language originated from the Hamdu culture of the southeast coast of China、Liangzhu culture or cross -lake bridge culture,Starting from the new world,Follow the southeast coast to Southeast Asia or pass through the Pacific islands through China。Discovery of the late rock paintings of the late rocks of the Jinsha River,Not only does it prove the authenticity of the diffusion of the South Island from the perspective of rock painting,and time earlier、The range is wider。It is based on the diffusion doctrine of the South Island language.,We not only compare the Jinsha Rock painting with Suraway Xidong rock paintings,At the same time, it can also be regarded as a bet365 live casino games whole,Material evidence and theoretical support for the origin of Southeast Asia as art and symbolic thinking,Naturalist rock paintings related to hunting collection may have extended from Western Europe to India's secondary continent,and extend to southeast China。but,Study this global human migration and cultural communication,The theoretical research of only humanities is not enough,In the current high -tech era, various scientific data is required for evidence and support。
