五台山金刚舞仪式的文化空间建构与解读

Construction and Interpretation of Cultural Space in Mt.Wutai Vajrayana Ritual

五台山金刚舞是一种集诵经、音乐、舞蹈为一体的具有完整仪式流程的藏传佛教舞蹈形式。在镇鬼、跳鬼、斩鬼和谢土的仪式活动中,金刚舞特有的语言符号系统建构起世俗、庙宇、神圣及地狱的多重空间,并随着仪式的进程使其在同一观演场的观演交互中不断发生转换。本文运用仪式文化空间理论探讨金刚舞仪式多重空间的建构,并尝试对其在不同空间存在的文化意义进行解读。

Mt.Wutai Vajrayana ritual takes the form of TibetanBuddhist dance with a complete ritual procedure that integrates chanting,music and dance.In the ritual activities including f ighting the ghost,repelling the ghost,beheading the ghost,and thanking the earth,the Vajrayana dance constructs multiple spaces:the secular,the temple,the sacred,and hell,and the spaces rotate as the ritual progresses.Using the theory of ritual or cultural space,this paper examines the construction of multiple spaces for the Vajrayana ritual,and attempts to f igure out the cultural signif icance of each space.
