摘　　要：阴阳观是古代中国人的宇宙观,是古代中国哲学的重要内涵,在文献不足以追溯到它的起源时,对史前艺术图像的解读就成为解决这个问题的重要途径。本文是一个初步尝试,由正反相生的图像解读阴阳相关的思想萌芽。史前艺术品上已经表达有阴阳观念,史前对于阴阳共生、阴阳互生和正反相生现象已经有了观察和理解。考古可以初步回答“阴中有阳,阳中有阴”“阳可变阴,阴可变阳”观念出现的基本过程。Ancient Chinese cosmology featured Yin-and-Yang,which was the core of ancient Chinese philosophy. Since its origin is beyond textual records,archaeological discoveries are crucial to investigate the early period of the Yin-and-Yang concept. This article is a preliminary study to reveal the origin of the Yinand-Yang concept according to relevant motifs. The author argues that such concept could be observed in the prehistorical period. The archaeological discoveries could shed light on the emergence of this concept and the correlation between Yin and Yang.
