从地域看《诗经·陈风》的巫文化

The Regional Wu Culture in "The Book of Songs·Chen Feng"

巫文化是《诗经.陈风》最为鲜明的主题。这一风俗应当来源于上古先民求雨活动的变异。求雨的实用功能在这个时期已经衰退,而给男女自由结合提供了极好的平台。有人认为《陈风》的巫文化的特点在于周陈时期"大姬"的影响和南方楚文化的熏陶。这一观点值得商榷,我们认为原因有二:一是陈地本就有着丰富的巫文化传统,二是商文明的浸染,使陈诗体现出强烈的巫的色彩。

Wu culture is the most obvious theme in ＂The Book of Songs·Chen Feng＂.This custom should be derived from the rain-invoking ceremony by ancient ancestors.The practical function of rain-invoking has been declining during this period,while the ceremony provides an excellent platform for young men and women to court with freedom.Some people think that Wu culture in ＂Chen Feng＂ is characterized by the impact and influence of ＂Da Ji＂ of Zhou Chen period and Chu culture in the south.This argument is debatable for two reasons,first,Chen region has witnessed rich Wu culture traditions;second,Wu culture is strongly influenced by commercial civilization.
