《楚辞·九歌》的祖先崇拜及其美学意义

Poetry Chuci Jiuge's Ancestor Worshiping and Its Esthetic Significance

《九歌》是《楚辞》中历来争议最多的篇章,它所祭祀的对象也众说纷纭。众所周知,《九歌》是祭祀"国殇"的,故而《九歌》祭祀的主要是祖先神,并非自然神。祖先崇拜的现实功利性,使得《九歌》在审美方面从原始美向古代美转变。

Jiuge is always the most controversial part of poetry Chuci, and opinion varies about its worshiping object. As is known well that Jiuge is to worship Guoshang, so Jiuge is used mostly to worship the ancestor instead of the natural gods. The practical utility of ancestor worshiping transforms the appreciation of Jiuge from the original beauty to its ancient beauty.
