中国云南地区的岩画价值十分突出，以岩棚彩绘为主、很多地区同时伴有凿刻类岩画，这些岩画的时间跨度有几千年。尤其是在云南省西北部纳西族聚居区，包含了中国最古老的岩画，并与中国其它地区的岩画图像相异。令人称奇的是这一地区的岩画与法国和西班牙马格德林时期的自然主义风格岩画相似；同时，也与印度南部早期的岩画相似。本文论证了云南西北部岩画是早期狩猎采集族群的重要遗存，其表现方式与亚洲东南部、澳大利亚北部部分地区的自然主义风格的狩猎采集图像十分相似，并对此进行了比较。我们把云南地区的岩画与近期在印度、柬埔寨、泰国和澳大利亚的研究图例相比较，并用多学科的方法在全球视域下对云南省西北部的岩画进行了研究。“,”Yunnan Province, China has an outstanding body of rock art, with concentrations of rock shelter paintings and some engravings in a number of localities and a time span of many thousands of years. The greater Naxi area of Northwest Yunnan, in particular, has a fascinating rock art record as it contains some of China’s oldest rock art as well as imagery unlike anything else from other parts of the country. Curiously, some of the art resembles naturalistic Magdalenian rock and portable art of France and Spain. It also is similar to some of the earliest rock art of South India. In this paper it is argued that northwest Yunnan rock art is an important early surviving form of hunter-gatherer symbolic expression with similarities to comparable naturalistic hunter-gatherer imagery found in parts of Southeast Asia, northern Australia and elsewhere. Comparative examples are drawn from recent research in India, Cambodia, Thailand and Australia and a multidisciplinary approach is used to place northwest Yunnan rock art in global contexts.
