汉民族宗教信仰品格:“形散”而“神聚”

Tentative Discussion of Han's "Prose Style" Character of Religious Belief

宗教信仰品格是我独创的概念,意指经过长期演化,群体在宗教信仰方面所体现出来的特质与风格。"形散"而"神聚"是汉民族宗教信仰品格的主要特征。在宗教信仰形式选择上,汉民族坚持实践理性、崇尚灵活变通,在佛教、道教等多种宗教信仰之间自由出入、游刃有余;基础核心信仰坚持一以贯之、相对明确集中,"敬天法祖"始终是汉民族宗教信仰的主线。

Adopting the literature research method,I proposed the concept of character of religious belief, which means ＂the character and style a group reflects in religious aspects through a long-time evolution＂ This paper sets forth the Han＇s ＂Prose style＂ character, which means that their character and style of religious aspects are characterized by varietyand flexibility in selection of form of religion.On the contrary, they insist that their clear religious core should not be lightly revised in actual practice.They are different from other nation because they believe in many kinds of religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, Islam,Christianity and folk religious beliefs. However, the core religious belief are never reversed. The Respecting God and-Abiding Ancients-Thought is the key line of Han＇s ＂Prose style＂ character of religious belief.
