玉石神话背后有一种“玉教”吗?——华夏文明的信仰之根的讨论

Is There a “Jade Religion” behind Jade Myth?——A Discussion on Religious Root of Chinese Civilization

2014年秋文学人类学青年学者读书会分别在京沪两地举行,讨论主题是:玉石神话信仰是否可以视为一种独立的宗教现象?怎样才能从考古学资料重建出的大传统新知识出发,探寻华夏文明的信仰之根?由此问题讨论所引发的另外的问题是,相对于西学的理论优势,为什么中国的人文学界迄今少有自己的理论建构和理论输出?学者要怎样努力才能实现理论的突破?回答是必须从青年学者开始培育理论思维的训练功夫,引导其思考重大理论问题的自觉。玉教的深入探讨能够突破有关中国无宗教的现代偏见,找回驱动华夏文明发生的信仰之根。

The Reading Party for the youth scholars of literary anthropology was held in the autumn of 2014 in Beijing and Shanghai. The topics for the party were as following：Is the belief in jade myth can be regarded as an independent religious phenomenon？ And how can the belief roots of Chinese civilization be explored from the new knowledge of great tradition re- constructed by archeological date？ Discussions on these topics resulted in other issues： Com- pared with the theoretical advantages of the West, why have been there few theoretical con- structions and theoretical outputs in Chinese humanity field so far？ And how can Chinese scholars strive to achieve a breakthrough in this field？ The answers to these are that we must begin to cultivate theoretical thinking of the youth scholars,and to train their self--conscious- ness of thinking major theoretical issues. And the in--depth discussion on Jade Religion can o- vercome the modern prejudice that China has no religion , and find the belief roots driving the happenings of Chinese civilization.
