Totem Worship and Totem Culture

It occupies an important position in the history of world culture. Therefore, the research on totem and totem culture has become a very meaningful work. Through totem research, we can understand the national history, customs and common psychology of a nation, which is of great significance for understanding the national characteristics of a nation. Totem, as a narrow understanding, refers specifically to ethnic worship or ethnic symbols in ancient times. However, as a kind of ideology or cultural image, totems exist not only in ancient times, but also in today's society. Almost all nations and countries in the world have their own national totems. They are the inheritance of history and they also have development. If the connotation of totems is extended, mascots are used in the national flags and national emblems of many countries in the world today, and many events in the world, such as sports games, expositions, etc., are actually closely related to the ancient totem consciousness. If this theory can be established, then the study of totem worship and totem culture will have more practical significance. The Beijing Olympic mascot Fuwa is not a totem, but it is also closely related to the totem consciousness of the Chinese people.
