论彝族天神

On the God of Yi Nationality

天神崇拜是古代民族和现代后进民族的普遍信仰行为。由于地理环境、历史和文化背景不同,各个民族天神崇拜的对象、内涵、职能及其发展演变的方式是不一样的。先秦时期,汉族前身——中原华夏族就十分崇敬天神,乃至后来长达两千多年的封建社会,历朝历代的皇帝都要亲登泰山祭天。汉藏语系藏缅语族彝语支白、纳西、彝、傈僳、景颇、基诺各族普遍崇拜天神,祭仪隆重,直到今天仍保留。彝族的天神崇拜经历了自然崇拜到祖先崇拜、人格神崇拜的发展演变过程,并产生了"天人感应"、"天人合一"的哲学理念。

God worship is the popular worship form of ancient nationalities and modern junior nationalities. God worship of Yi people came through the evolvement of nature worship, ancestor worship to worship of god with human pattern. Moreover, it had brought to the philosophical concept of universe induction with human and integration of heaven and human beings.
