摘要
“腾格里”一词兼有“天”和“天神”双重含义。作为“天”,最早绝非指“天空”或“天穹”,而是指凡颠之称和凡颠上空或上方之称。在凡颠和凡颠上空或上方,也即“天”上,最引人注目且与人类关系最为密切的是什么天体呢?毫无疑问,是日月星辰。在日月星辰中,太阳、月亮占据着无与伦比的显赫地位。所以,蒙古语族远古先民所崇拜的“腾格里”,最初指的便是太阳和月亮这两个有生命有人格的天体;太阳、月亮这两个有生命有人格的天体便是蒙古语族远古先民所崇拜的“腾格里”。当然,这一结论并不是最后的。
The term tngri meant “sky” and “heaven” as well. It at first referred to not “sky” but to top or head of persons, later extended to be naming of top of things and sky above things or top part of things. Consequently it came to denote“sky”. What are the most striking bodies in sky in relevant to human beings? Doubtless, they are the sun, moon and stars. Among them, the sun and moon took unique places. Therefore tngri(heaven) Mongol language speaking peoples' ancestors worshiped were certainly the sun and moon, two celestial bodies with personality. Both of the celestial bodies were tngri Mongol language speaking peoples' ancestors worshiped. Of course this is not final conclusion I want to make.
