대표적인 근대지도인 '중국여도'상의 내몽골지도는 휼룡한데 현재 지명과 100여년가까이 시차가 있다보니 지명이 변경되어 약간 차이가 있어 현대지도와 비교할때 변경지명의 확인이 필요합니다.


그림 1. 중국여도 '승덕' 방안지도 부분도

(난하상류 이손하(伊遜河)[색두수(索頭水)라고도 함]와 요하 상류의 서랍목륜하상류 중첩지역을 중심의 내몽골지역)



예를 들어 위의 중국여도의 '백탑사白塔寺'란 지명은 현재는 극십극등기(克什克腾旗)가 되었습니다.

우리역사에서 중요한 지역인 난하상류와 서요하상류가 같이 위치한 고원지대는 하북과 내몽골접경지역이므로 별개로 표시된 지도가 없어서 하북성 승덕시지도나 내몽골 적봉시지도를 같이 참조해 보아야 합니다.


원래는 몽골지역이다 20세기에 하북성들어간 승덕일대는난하와 서요하(서랍목륜하) 상류지류의 공동발원지로 하북성북단으로 난하지류인 색두수索頭水에 해당하는 이손하(伊遜河)와 서랍목륜하의 상류수계가 모여있으며 산지가 끝나고 고원평원으로 들어가는 경계지역이기도 하며 여기서 북으로 올라가면대왕묘(大王廟)가 위치한 달래약이호(達來渃爾湖)가 위치한 고원지대가 연이어져 나옵니다.

'중국여도'상에는 표시되어 있지 않아 찾기 어려웠던 대광정자산등은 위의 난하 상류수계가 표시된 현대지도에서 찾아보면 이손하(伊遜河)상류의 동북쪽의 서랍목륜하 지류의 상류수원 우측에 있습니다.

'중국여도'에서는 주목할만한 두드러진 지명들이 등장하는데수없이 표시된 자저산子咀山으로 명명된 산들과 사당으로 보이는 구성묘九聖廟라는 특이한 지명 유래가 관심을 끌게 합니다.

Objects for sports hunting are elk, brown bear, Manchurian deer, roe deer, caribou, goose, duck; for fishing - taimen, lenok, grayling, humpback salmon and dog salmon.

In the Badjal river basin the "Badjalsky" Federal nature preserve is located; in the middle current of Amgun river - the "Oldjikansky" one.

The settlement of Vladimirovka is home for the Negidals, the most small in number nationality of Priamurye known for their distinctive culture.

Many species of waterfowl nest here, including the rare in the Krai gray goose; colonies of grey heron are found along with fish hawk, erne, Steller's sea eagle, golden eagle, and Far Eastern curlew. The Evoron lake laying in the middle of the Evoron-Chukchagirskaya lowland is the most significant bio-geographical system in the region. Here lies one of three main branches of bird's seasonal migratory flows, who inhabits in the summer on the huge spaces of North-East Asia, and in the winter - in countries of South-East Asia. Besides that the Evoron lake remains one of few not polluted yet reservoirs in the Amur river basin.

In spring larger shoals of common white fish, wild carp, sheat-fish, pike, and carp from the winter pot-holes in river branches especially the Evur where they stay for winter, come for spawning and fattening to the lake from the Amur. It causes abundance of fish-eating birds.

The traditional forms of religion of the Priamurye peoples were closely connected to their trade culture, in the basis of which was the animal world, close to a person. It was considered that a person has an animal or bird origin, that animals in taiga can hear and understand each other and everyone. It tells that animal can revive after its death if its skull and bones where not damaged, that animals and birds have their spirits-owners. So one must periodically speak with them in order to have a successful hunt. Therefore the traditional holidays include the actions, directed on the fault removing for the murder of animal and "reviving" the murdered animal again.

Even the first researchers had mentioned that the peoples of Priamurye are virtuosos of the wood art. The Ultchi knew a set of groove and list techniques. Therefore their utensils represent perfect samples of carved art.

Traditional clothes of the peoples of Priamurye is one of the most mass kinds of art creativity combining the art of designing, application, processing of leather, metal, stone in itself. The most interesting are the dressing gowns from the fish leather. They are for wearing in spring, summer and in the beginning of autumn. The special value is given to wedding clothes, which have plenty of ornaments as suspension brackets and fur. The image of patrimonial tree on a dressing gown is necessary part, which symbolises continuation of a family. Birds, sitting on branches are symbolised the souls of children who had not born yet. The ornaments for male and female gowns are different. Hat and gloves have their own specific ornament. Many masters had found their inspiration in wood or bone groove art. Hunt had become the original competition among the villages: whose clothes had been decorated better, whose boat, sleds had been more beautiful.

The regional
ethnocultural centres with small museums, exhibition halls, creative workshops on decorative-applied art, national collectives are created in Khabarovsk territory. The ancient national holidays are carried out annually. The realization of the national "Bear holiday" and wedding "gema-ta" was also revived in 1992-1993. The ancient competitions on national kinds of sport, the performances of art amateur performance, sale of national products of decorative-applied art are usually represented during the national holidays.

Sikhachi-Alyan Petroglyphs

Among the archaeological monuments which have struck imagination of first researchers of the Far East, there were ancient petroglyphs (rock drawings) near the national nanaian settlement Sikhachi-Alyan, that is located 75 km from Khabarovsk down the Amur River stream.




First information about the Sikhachi-Alyan rock drawings has appeared in 70-th years of the XIX century. B.Lowefer - the American orientalist of the XIX century, investigated them. In 1919 the noted Japanese historian, ethnographer and archeologist Toriy Ryudzo have examined the rock drawings during his trip in Siberia. The noted researchers L.Sternberg and V.Arsenyev have studied the petroglyphs. But only researches of А.Okhladnikov in 1935 have brought fame to the Sikhachi-Alyan petrogliphs.

Huge basalt boulders, towering along the rocky Amur riverside, attract travellers here. These boulders are witnesses of the childhood of our planet. They are marked by seal of the creative intention, open the strange and at the same time fascinating, fantastic world of ancient art. Thousand years have smoothed sharp sides of the basalt boulders, have polished their surface, but could not erase deep strips, maid by hand of unknown master of ancient times. The ancient images on boulders and rocks of Sikhachi-Alyan represent the long and difficult history of the region. Countless generations speak to us through millenniums by original and expressive language.

The drawings representing masks, animals, anthropomorphic images, birds (about 300 in all) are executed with stone tools on basalt boulders. Most ancient images are dated by the late Stone Age (7-6 millenniums B.C.).

Researching of the mysterious drawings on Amur riverside still continues, and will be continued by generations of the scientists - archeologists, art critics and historians.
