“做宗教”的模式

Modalities of Doing Religion

在中国宗教发展史上,不同的"做宗教"的方式逐渐演进并凝结为5种易于辨认的模式:话语/经文模式、个人修炼模式、仪式模式、即时灵验模式、关系/来往模式。这几种模式并非独立存在,它们在大多时候是相互交叉、相互影响的。现实中发生的宗教信仰活动更多地是在地方习俗、历史事件、社会环境、个人性格和"做宗教"模式框架等因素综合影响之下的产物。

In the long history of religions in China, different ways of ＂doing religion＂ have evolved into 5 kinds of relatively typical modalities： Discursive/scriptural, Personal-cultivational, Liturgical, Immediatepractical and Relational modalities. These modalities do not exist independently. They most often interrelate on and interact on each other. In practice, most religious belief activities actually are those activities which are closely related to local custom, historical events, social environment, personality and modalities of doing religion.
