土族对二郎神崇拜的原因分析

Analysis of Tus' worship for God Er Lang

土族在与汉民族融合过程中,出现了二郎神。土族信仰中的二郎神,已成为当地广泛信仰的地方保护神,无论求雨治病,求佑平安,求五谷丰登,求诸事顺利,二郎神的旨意都成为他们的金科玉律。土族对二郎神的崇拜,一是因为土族历史中多民族共同生活的特征形成了其民间文化及宗教信仰的多样性与多重性;二是由于土族人治水兴农的水神崇拜心理;三是因为土族人对抗封建统治与邪恶的战神崇拜心理。

God Er Lang emerged in the mixing course of Tus （ Tu ethnical group） and the Han people and became the god of local pro- tection. Whenever the local people pray for rain, for cure of disease, for peace or for harvest, they worship God Er Lang. The reasons are as follows： first, the characteristics of living along with the many ethnical groups in the history of Tu ethnical group form the diversi- ty of folk culture and religious belief; second, the Tus have psychology of worship for water god when they bring water under control and develop agriculture; third, the Tus have psychology of worship for war god when they fight against feudal rule and evil.
