What is the cultural phenomenon of reproductive worship in primitive society?

? As a worldwide historical phenomenon, the reproductive worship culture, which expresses the theme of primitive human reproduction, has attracted more and more attention and interest from relevant scholars in various countries. Nowadays, an unmistakable giant rock painting showing the reproductive worship in the late primitive society has brought good news to experts and scholars who study the primitive reproductive worship culture.

This huge rock sculpture, which covers an area of 1.20 square meters and is hidden in the Tianshan Mountains in the southwest of Hutubi County, Xinjiang, was discovered and verified by Wang Binghua, a researcher at Xinjiang Institute of Archaeology, in the summer of 1.987. The whole picture is covered with hundreds of people of different sizes and postures from top to bottom and from left to right. The great man is too real; The smallest is only one or twenty centimeters. Portraits include photos of men and women, women and totems living together, photos of men and women having sex, photos of hermaphrodites, and photos of men and women lying together. Many men in the statue show their genitals with great exaggeration. Throughout the content of the whole picture, no matter its rough men, beautiful women or even more cheerful villains, it is almost related to the reproduction of descendants and population, reflecting the ideological connotation of the prosperous reproductive worship and reproductive worship culture produced by human beings in the late primitive society and patriarchal society in Xinjiang in the third century BC.

According to experts' research, such a large-scale sculpture reflecting the theme of reproductive worship is unique in China and the world at present. So far, it has provided researchers with a vivid and intuitive cultural picture of reproductive worship, which, like photography and video recording, has great scientific value.

According to Xinjiang Institute of Archaeology, Wang Binghua studied this rock painting for half a year, and then wrote a paper with more than 20,000 words, which is a page of history carved on the rock wall. This paper holds that this giant rock painting is an important relic reflecting the ancient reproductive worship culture.
