摘要
盂兰盆节是中国古代三大传统祭祀节日之一,是有着儒释道三家文化背景的重要的宗教节日。本文试图从宗教文化的角度来分析盂兰盆节的渊源和流变。“源”的部分追溯了盂兰盆节形成的多重文化源头,探讨作为佛教节日的盂兰盆节是如何与中国固有的文化传统融合无间的;“流”的部分描述分析了盂兰盆节世俗化为民众狂欢节的过程。盂兰盆节承载着多元文化内涵,对它的研讨有助于我们更深入地了解中国宗教的独特性。
The Yu-lan-peng festival is one of the three big traditional festivals offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors in ancient China, an important festival with a cultural background of Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism. This paper offers a historic analysis of the Yu-lan-peng festival from a viewpoint of religion and culture. Parts of the ＂source＂ are traced back to the multiple cultures in which the Yu-lan-peng festival formed. Studying the festival as a Buddhist festival is how to mix it with the Chinese traditional culture. The partial description of its ＂development＂ is an analysis of process of its common views as a mass carnival. The Yu-lan-peng festival carries multiple cultures; its survey is beneficial for us to know the character of Chinese religion.
