脸上“伤疤”的秘密在苏丹访问时,我们诧异地发现不少成年男女脸上有“伤疤”,有的在前额,有的在两颊;有的是两道,有的是三道,而且左右对称。这到底是怎么回事呢? 原来,苏丹1,800万人,分成590多个部族、2,000多个部落。主要部族有;阿拉伯人、努比亚人、努巴人、贝贾人、尼罗人、富尔人等。对如此繁多的部族和部落的区分,便是通过脸上的“伤疤”。据传,早在公元前750多年,苏丹北部的部落便在脸上做标记。在孩子二至十岁这个阶段,父母亲就在他们的脸上刻上本部落的标记。有的用铁器烫,有的用刀子划。当时的目的是为了在部落冲突中辨识自己人和敌人。后来则演变为不同教派的标志和一种美的装饰。各部族的标记各有特点:尼罗人的标记刻在 Secrets of “Scar” on His Face During a visit to Sudan, we were surprised to find that many adult men and women had “scars” on their faces, some on the forehead and some on cheeks; some were two, some three, and symmetrical.
