浅谈庙会文化

The Introduction to the Temple Fair Culture

庙会是围绕寺庙而形成的一种特定集会。庙会是社会发展的产物,实质上是民间信仰文化。庙会最早起源于自然崇拜和祖先崇拜。随着经济和政治的发展,庙会内容不断丰富、形制逐渐完善:商周时期,宗法制的出现使祭祀权利由全民祭祀集中到嫡长子专祀;秦汉到唐宋时期,宗教的传入与渗透改变了传统庙会文化的格局;宋元到明清时期,手工业和商业繁荣发展使庙会文化注入了浓厚的商业气息。纵观庙会的嬗变历史,可见庙会对于传统文化的弘扬与创新、娱乐群众身心和促进贸易发展起着不可忽视的作用。社会在进步,我们仍然需要民俗文化,这是我们民族的凝聚力和向心力,也是我们宝贵的文化遗产。我们要继续珍惜和发扬。
