战国秦汉时期蛇信仰与政权之关系

Relation between Snake Faith and State Power During Warring States Period and Qin-Han Dynasties

战国秦汉时期,人们相信某些蛇具有强大的神异性,能通过与人主或人君发生联系而与国家政权有密切关系;蛇的出现还成为某人即将获得政权或加官晋爵的预兆,甚至具有政治警示作用。这是原始巫术交感术的一种体现。

During Warring States period and Qin-Han dynasties people believed certain snakes with inherent miraculousness could associate with princes or emperors and consequently correlate closely with state power,besides the emergence of snake portends someone would gain regime or advances in rank and position,and even containe some warning results on politics.All these reflect a form of sympathie in primitive religion.
