祖庙:中国上古的仪式中心及其复杂内蕴

Ancestral Temple: Chinese Antediluvian Ritual Center and Its Complicated Connotation

中国上古仪式中心从空地和坛台到宗庙的演进,其实质是在天神地祇祖鬼一体的结构中,由以天为核心到以地为核心再到以祖宗为核心的演进,中国上古历史演进的特色是在血缘基础上进行文化的质的提升。祖庙中心的具体演进,在商代以"宗"为主要语汇,在周代以"庙"为主要语汇。祖庙中心构成了古代仪式中心进入宫殿中心之前的重要形态。

The transformation of Chinese antediluvian ritual center from clearing and altar to ancestral temple shows that in the structure of Tenshin Chigi, there is the transformation from the center of heaven to the center of earth and then to ancestor. The characteristics lie in the qualitative promotion based on blood. The specific transformation centered on ancestral temple has ＂clan＂ as the main vocabulary in Shang Dynasty and ＂temple＂in Zhou Dynasty. The center of ancestral temple forms the main state of ancient ritual center before moving into the center of palace.
