略论门神信仰

    The Worship of Door-Gods

    • 摘要: 门神信仰的思想基础应从原始思维的特殊性中去寻找,而鬼神观念的滥觞则是门神信仰产生的直接动因。门神信仰实质上是一种巫术信仰,它通过巫术的方式去实现镇鬼辟邪的结果。在我们看来,这种信仰是非理性的、没有实际效果的,但是对门神信仰的创造者和传播者来讲,这是实用的、成功的。当然,随着社会的变迁和科技的进步, 门神信仰的功能也会发生变异,其中的神秘性因素会逐渐淡化以至消失,而趋向于世俗化、装饰化。

       

      Abstract: The base of the Door-god worship should be sought from the particularity of the primitive thoughts, while the shaping of the concept of ghosts and gods is the direct driving force for its emergence. Actually, the worship of Door-god is a kind of worship of sorcery, which realizes its expected result through sorcery. This worship is unreasonable and useless from our point of view; but for its creators and propagators, it is pragmatic and successful. Certainly, with the change of society and the progress of technology, the function of the Door-god worship also changes. Its mystical factors have gradually weakened and even disappeared, and it becomes more worldly and ornamental.
