论傣族节日庆典与南传上座部佛教的关系

The Relationship between the Dai's Festivals and Theravada

云南西双版纳、德宏傣族在信仰原始宗教的同时又全民信仰南传上座部佛教,节日文化在呈现浓厚宗教色彩的同时又出现地域差异性的明显特征。南传上座部佛教在这些地区的流播过程中,也会向该民族的习俗或节日文化方面渗透而深受影响。这种渗透是在节日文化与宗教信仰有机联系的基础上进行的,明显体现在原始宗教与人文宗教相互妥协及人文宗教本地化的过程当中。

The Dai people in Xishuangbanna and Dehong believe in both primitive religion and Theravada.Their festivals have a rich religious color and show regional differences.The process of popularizing Theravada has exerted influence on their customs and festivals or vice versa.This kind of interaction shows a close connection between festival culture and religious belief,and the reconciliation between primitive religion and man-made religion and its localization.
