原始宗教与中国古代农事诗的起源
The Primitive Religion Originated the Agricultural Poetry
-
摘要: 在一个实际上靠天吃饭,精神上靠神支撑的时代,宗教活动本身就是农业生产力,它渗透于农业生产的各个环节中。人类一方面顶礼膜拜,祈神降福,把音韵最优美的媚词献给神灵,祈求降福;另一方面又不甘于自然的摆布,不懈抗争,把最威严、铿锵的咒语念给鬼怪,胁迫神灵。这矛盾双方的相互消长,使人类文化以不同的形式打上了它的烙印。古代农事诗也是如此,祭祀的媚词、巫术的咒语和揣度神意的卦爻辞,都是农事诗诞生的温床。Abstract: At the prehistoric times, agricultural results depended on the weather and Heaven's Will dominated the people's mind. Primitive religion was a part of agricultural activities. In every season, farmers conducted a religious ceremony for questing Heaven's blessing to their farm work. The prehistoric man sang highly to Heaven with beautiful words. At the same time, they read formula used in exorcising. These literatures for worshiping Heaven and exorcising are the origin of agricultural poetry.
