湖南侗族万物有灵信仰文化中的和谐生存观

Dong People's Harmonious Survivalism in their Belief of Pantheism

湖南侗族信仰文化中的万物有灵思想折射出人类普遍的原初生存观。在原初条件下,人类习惯于将生存环境中的不可抗拒现象归因于先祖和自然神灵的神秘力量。这种原始生存观反映了侗族期待人与自然、人与人达成和谐的愿景。时至今日,科学技术足以揭开自然现象的神秘面纱,消除人类诸多恐惧心理;然而,这种现代文明似乎远未找到人与自然、人与人的和谐共存的完美路径。挖掘侗族信仰文化中的精髓思想有利于现代文明夯实和谐自然与和谐社会的生存之路。

Belief of pantheism of Dong People in Hunan province commonly reflects a primitive surviv-alism which embodies Dong People 爷 s expectation to a harmonious balance between people and nature as well as that between people and society. Under primitive circumstances, irrevocable survival mysteries used to be attributed to the powers of human ancestors and natural deities. Till today, science and technology can un-ravel the mystery of nature and dispel fear in human mind but it seems to find no perfect way to strike a har-monious balance between people and nature as well as that between people and society. Hence digging the quintessence in their belief will be useful for paving a way of harmonious nature and society in the modern civilization.
