Comparing The Sacrifice For The God Of Nature Recorded In The Inscriptions Of Oracle With That Recorded In Dongba Scripts

Sacrificial offering culture was an extremely important constituent in the ancient social culture, especially for the people in Shang Dynasty who treat the ghosts and gods matters conscientiously . The our country's most ancient script i.e. Oracle , is created in the Shang dynasty . The script is the product of culture. Investigating and comparing the Sacrifice culture of the Shang Dynasty is very helpful for analyzing Oracle. Oracle and Dongba scripts have recorded the rich sacrifice culture of the Han people in the Shang Dynasty and the Naxi people in the ancient times separately. The two nations are closely linked during the ancient times, and they have a similar understanding about the God of nature. This article compares their sacrificial offering to the God of nature,analyze the similarities and differences in their cultural values, and attempt to explore the hidden secrets about the structure of the script in their culture.This article is divided into five chapters: The first chapter is an introduction aiming to explain the origin of this research, analyze the comparability , demonstrate the research value, and summarize the results of the previous research in this regard. In the second chapter, we defined the God of nature, confirm the respective God of nature worshipped in Oracle and Dongba scripts. The third chapter is the main body. In this chapter, a careful comparison Has been carried on, with the classification of natural god for classes, the God's power, the form of the written character and the way of sacrifice, et. as the key link. This comparison is mainly reserving differences and seeking common grounds. These common grounds have given us great inspiration. The main inspiration is using the material relating to Dongba scripts to prove the font of Oracle. The fourth chapter aims to use the sacrificial material of Naxi to speculate the ritual symbols of Shang and some sacrifice supplies, and to structure the general ritual procedures of Shang. The last chapter is the conclusion, which offers a summary of the whole paper.The innovation of this article is to use various materials such as the Naxi language, kitap or even the ritual process alive to Inspire and prove the picking of images and structural principles of Oracle, etc. Mainly solved the problem of the symbol of a small "dot" and a small "口". We believe that the "dot" in "土", "尞", "祭" ,"示" and other common word in Oracle refer to the "grain" during the sacrifice; While the "口" in the words "石", "司", "后", "右" mean worship of the "meat " during the sacrifice. As for the creation of "土" and "石" in Oracle is not the pictographic clods and stones in our imagination. Instead, it's the worship of the "holy stone, holy tree " and "grotto, mastaba". In addition, many words such as "匚" are made specifically for sacrifice. The other verb used in sacrifice such as" " . We also broke down the traditional notion which indicating the wine sacrifice instead we think this is the blood sacrifice. Its semantic radical lies in "彡"not "酉".
