文献记录和图像遗存都说明中国上古社会存在“猴”与“马”形成特殊神秘组合的认识。这种文化存在及其观念背景影响相当久远,其内在的文化象征意义以及形成和流布的空间特征都值得深入探讨。南北朝时期存留有关“猿骑”的记录,应当与之属于同一文化主题。通过对相关汉代画像资料的分析,可知这种文化现象在汉代就已经发生。对于这一问题的研究和探讨,应当有益于对古代游艺生活的认识,也有益于对古代人与动物的关系、兽医学与巫术的关系乃至交通文化范畴中若干神秘主义现象的理解。
The documentation and the remains of images all show that there is a special mysterious combination of “monkey” and “horse” in the ancient Chinese society. This kind of cultural existence and its conceptual background have a long history. Its inherent cultural symbolic significance and spatial characteristics of its formation and distribution are worthy of further discussion. Southern and Northern Dynasties keep “ape ride ” records, should belong to the same cultural theme. Through the analysis of the related Han Dynasty portrait data, we can see that this kind of cultural phenomenon happened in the Han Dynasty. The research and discussion on this issue should be beneficial to the understanding of ancient entertainment life as well as the understanding of some mystic phenomena in the relationship between ancient people and animals, the relationship between veterinary science and witchcraft, and even in the transportation culture.
