在新疆一个多世纪的考古活动中,发现了大量的木雕人像。史前新疆居民究竟为什么要雕刻出一个个人形“艺术品”?史前时期,人们相信人体为灵魂的居所,但世界上大多数古代人类并不制作木乃伊,他们用其他方式来表现灵魂的存在,制作人形雕像便是最常见的方法。木雕人像是灵魂的寓所。新疆地区史前人形雕像中,多数就是原始社会萨满教中的神偶。小河墓地的发现为此提供了直接的证据。 In Xinjiang more than a century of archeological activities, found a large number of woodcarving portraits. Prehistoric Xinjiang residents why carved out a personal form “Art ”? Prehistoric era, people believe that the human body is the residence of the soul, but most ancient humans in the world do not make mummies, they use other means to show the existence of the soul , The production of humanoid statue is the most common method. Wood carving portrait is the soul of the apartment. Most of the prehistoric human statues in Xinjiang are the gods in shamanism in primitive society. The discovery of the Creek cemetery provides direct evidence of this.
