What are the main existing forms of ideas and what are the religious worship in primitive society?
A: The main forms of primitive concept culture are primitive religion and primitive art. ..
Primitive religious worship can be divided into:
(1) Worship of nature is one of the most primitive forms of ancestor worship. There are many patterns representing the sun on the pottery unearthed from Yangshao, Qujialing and other cultural sites. There are also images of animals, plants and natural objects as decorative content. These reflect the primitive ancestors' worship of nature. In addition, natural objects other than the sun and the land were worshipped by China's ancestors: "Mountains, rivers, valleys, hills, clouds, wind and rain, monsters are all called gods" (sacrificial ceremony), which played an active role in protecting the environment and maintaining ecological balance.
(2) Reproduction-ancestor worship. The ancestors paid great attention to their own reproduction, which led to the worship of reproduction. Moreover, reproductive worship and ancestor worship are closely linked. Reproductive worship is rooted in ancestor worship, including female and male worship. Women are regarded by ancestors as the decisive factor in the reproduction of race, so people worship women as creators and ancestors. Later, with the increasing importance of men in social production, they turned to male worship.
③ Totem worship is a relatively advanced religious form. Totem is a transliteration of the Indian word "its kin". Totem means that primitive people think that there is a special intimate relationship between their clan and some animal, plant or imaginary creature, and regard him as the object of worship of the whole clan. Compared with nature worship and reproduction-ancestor worship, totem worship is a more advanced religious form, and this primitive religion is the mainstream of conceptual culture in primitive times.
