壮族民间信仰起源、发展与复兴——壮族民间信仰研究系列论文之一

ORIGIN, DEVELOPMENT AND REJUNENATION OF FILK BELIEFS OF THE ZHUANG PEOPLE: SERIES PAPERS Ⅰ OF FOLK BELIEF STUDIES OF THE ZHUANG

壮族在长期的历史发展过程中形成了形式多样、内容丰富的民间信仰文化。壮族民间信仰与世界上其他民族的民间信仰一样起源于原始社会,其经历了原生起源缓慢发展期、原生信仰与外来宗教信仰磨合发展期、断裂期、复兴与重构期四个主要发展阶段,每个阶段的发展特点与社会生产力发展水平、人们的认知水平以及当时国家推行的文化、宗教政策有着密切关系。改革开放后,壮族民间信仰复兴现象普遍在壮族地区出现,这是传统文化复兴的重要体现,是社会发展的必然选择。在新时期,应坚持人类社会学中的"示范性指导"理念对信仰加以引导,实现壮族民间信仰的良性发展,使其能够更有效地协调社会和谐发展。

The Zhuang people created various and rich folk beliefs in the long history. The same as that of other peoples of the world, the folk beliefs of the Zhuang originated from the primitive society, they experienced four main periods in the process of development： slow origination, breaking-in period of original beliefs and external religious beliefs, disruption, rejuvenation and reconstruction. Characteristics of every period have close relations with the level of development of social productive force, cognition of people, cultural and religious policies promoted by the state then. After the reform and opening-up, the phenomenon of folk belief rejuvenation appears in the Zhuang areas universally. This is an important expression of rejuvenation of traditional cultures and also the inevitable choice of social development. In the new period, the ideology of ＂exemplary guiding＂ of anthropological sociology should be kept to guide beliefs and to achieve benignant development of folk beliefs of the Zhuang people in order to coordinate a harmonious social development more effectively.
