“关帝崇拜”文化现象三题

Cultural Phenomena of Worshiping to Guan Yu as a Spiritual God

关羽祭祀的"推广"与三次神异之说有关,分别为佛教、道教与官方所造作;关羽称"帝"也是经过一段演变过程;与关帝庙并存的"三义庙"反映了民间价值标准,这与小说的影响有一定的关系。

Widespread worship to Guan Yu by offering sacrifices is related to the three stories of Gods and Spirits, fabricated in the fields of Buddhism, Taoism and officialdom. There is a evolutionary process for Guan Yu to be treated as a god. Guandi Temple as well as Sanyi Temple（Temple of Three Brothers）reflect the standard values of common people, which is influenced by the novel to some extent.
