A basic theme of life In early society, great concern was shown to the wild animals and plants. In ceremonies that were an integral part of hunting and gathering culture, the people would show their gratitude to the animals they hunted--for only by eating these hunted animals were they themselves able to continue living.
初民社會食物取諸大地，關心的也是大地上奔跑、生長的動植物，伴隨採集行為的儀式裡，也不時反映對獵物付出生命，自己的生命才因此得以延續的感激。
