湖南白族本主信仰的类型及特征——兼与云南白族比较

The Types and Characteristics of Patron God Worship of Bai Nationality in Hunan Province——Comparison with Bai Nationality in Yunnan Province

湖南白族本主信仰一方面秉承了云南白族本主信仰的传统,具有突出的原始宗教信仰诸表征及本质特点;另一方面,由于历经军事迁徙、辗转落户的特殊历史进程并受到与当地土家族、苗族散杂居的地理人文环境影响,致使湖南白族本主信仰的类型及特征与云南白族相比具有一定差异,打上了鲜明的历史地理及区域文化印记,兼收并蓄巫、释、道、儒诸文化,并与土家族、苗族等少数民族信仰文化不断交融。

The Bai Nationality in Hunan Province have inherited the tradition of Bai Nationality in Yunnan Province in their patron god worship, which is characterized by primitive religious belief. On the other hand, patron god worship of Bai Nationality in Hunan Province has distinctive history and regional culture features. Military migration, special history experience and mixed residence environment have caused differences in types and characteristics of patron god worship between Bai Nationality in the two provinces.
