殷齐文化与黄帝传说——中国美学上古文化背景考察

The Culture of Yin Qi and the Legend of Yellow Emperor——Background Investigation on Chinese Aesthetics in the Culture of Remote Ages

在中国上古史和上古文化研究中,黄帝已被多数研究者看作上古时期出自西部华夏集团的氏族首领。然而材料分析表明,殷商宗教是黄帝传说的发祥地,而黄帝的前身则是神话传说中的天神帝俊。在殷人的宗教信仰中,太阳鸟帝俊是上帝的化身;帝俊或帝俊之子帝鸿经殷代方帝祭祀系统,最终在与其一脉相承的齐宗教中转化为黄帝,而田齐取代姜齐并向土著齐人靠拢,以及稷下之学的发展,则是黄帝传说扩展开来的主要动力。帝俊从最高天神坠落为氏族英雄,改变了人类上古宗教一般的发展趋向,造就了独具特点的中华文化。黄帝起源的研究最终将导向这个结论。

In the study of the history and culture of remote ages, Yellow Emperor has been considered, by many researchers, the chieftain of western Hua Xia elan. Nevertheless, according to analytic materials, it is in Yin Shang religion that the legend of Yellow Emperor originated, and his previous reincarnation is the deity Emperor Jun in the mythology. Emperor Jun, who descended from a deity to a tribal hero, has changed the general developing tendency of human religion in remote ages and rewarded distinctive features to Chinese culture.
