从祭祖仪式和祖先传说看章朗布朗族祖先崇拜

Ancestor Worship of the Blang Nationality in Zhanglang Village:Their Rituals and the Ancient Legends

章朗布朗族节日祭祖时,必须到缅寺进行滴水仪式,才能把功德回向给祖先;平时,他们则以房屋中的"男柱"作为祖先象征举行祭祖仪式。在章朗布朗族的传说中,葫芦被当成祖先,但也掺杂了佛教的影响。从节日祭祖仪式、日常祭祖仪式、祖先传说三个方面来看,章朗布朗族的祖先崇拜实际上主要由其相关原始宗教与南传上部座佛教混融而成,具有鲜明的民族特色。

In their festivals, the rituals for the ancestor worship of the Blang nationality in Zhanglang Village closely keep in connection with the dripping water ceremony from Southern Buddhism. In a daily ritual for the ancestor worship, they take Man Pillar as the ancestor to have a ritual activity. A gourd is regarded as their ancestor in the legend of the Blang nationality in Zhanglang Village, which mingles with Buddhist elements. So from the three aspects, that is, festivals for ancestor worship, daily ancestor worship, and ancient legends, people can understand that the ancestor worship of the Blang nationality in Zhanglang village is mixed together with their primitive religion and Southern Buddhism substantially.
