壮族师公教神灵关系探析——以经书抄本《伕子请客》为例

On the Deities' Relationships in the Shigong Religion of Zhuang Nationality——Taking the Scripture "Father and Son Entertained Guests" as Example

壮族师公教有明显的多神崇拜特征。祖师神三元真君虽有被尊为至上神的倾向,但众多神灵仍处于游离和分散的状态,没有被纳入一个严密的神灵体系中,神与神之间显现出平等和谐的社会关系。壮族师公教众神平等的根源在于历史上壮族长期处于分散而居、部落林立、酋帅众多的社会状态。

The Shigong Religion of Zhuang Nationality has a characteristic of multi-deity worship. Although Sanyuan Deity, the founder of the Zhuang＇s Shigong religion has been honored to be the supreme god of the religion, all other deities are still separating from each other without being taken up into the close system of the deities, showing an equal and harmonious social relationship among deities. The cause of the equality among the deities is that the Zhuang people were separated into many groups and tribes with many chieftains in history.
