《诗经·周颂》所体现的周人宗祖观念新探

New Exploration of Zhou People’s Ancestor Conception Embodied from The Book of Songs·Zhou Song

一般认为,《诗经·周颂》反映了周人对祖先歌功颂德和祈神降福的思想。但从《诗经·周颂》的《闵予小子》、《访落》、《小毖》三诗所反映的历史内容看,它还表达了成王"未堪家多难"的感慨。这说明周人的宗祖观念较之殷人更加丰富,不仅把祖先看作有神异特征的鬼神来崇拜敬畏,而且融入更多情感内容。周人的宗祖感情更人性化。

It is generally believed that The Book of Songs · Zhou Song reflects Zhou people＇ s ideas of singing praises of their ancestors and praying God＇ s bless. However, from the historical content of view relected from the three poems Min Yu Xiaozi, Fang Luo and Little Mi in The Book of Songs · Zhou Song, it also expresses King Cheng＇ s emotion of the suffering of his nation. This shows that Zhou people＇ s conception of ancestors is richer than Yin people. They not only worship their ancestors as spirits of miraculous characteristics, but also integrate much emotion. Zhou people＇ s ancestor conception is more humanistic.
