"Reproduction"
- Engraved Hutubi Rock Art
In Xinjiang, near the Tianshan Mountains and the Altay Mountains, many rock walls have
been found one after another to be engraved with ancient drawings,which reflected various
things that describe the various aspects of the lives of
the early nomadic tribes on the.grasslands, such as hunting, herding, exploring,fighting,
dancing and worshipping gods, beasts and the sun. There were also
many drawings which provided vivid images of animals, sheep, horse, deer, tiger etc.Not
long ago, a new rock engraving was discovered in Kangjia Shimenzi, Hutubi County, in the
middle of the Tianshan Mountains. This engraving was quite different from those that have
been found before -- all pictures engraved on the big rock showed the form and structure
of the human body, and moreover,
engraving, to a great degree, beautified the human body and showed strong
aesthetic charm. It is really an outstanding art work of the ancient people.
After comprehensive study by concerned experts and scholars, this engraving is
believed to be a spiritual product which reflects the early people's worship of
reproduction. The engraving also shows us the strong aesthetic preference of
human beings of early times in respect to sexual love.This rock painting is 120
kilometers from Urumqi in The Tianshan Mountains in Hutubi County. The history of the painting can be dated back about 3000 years ago.You can hire a car to there!
