古代巴蜀陵井之盐神形象考

Study on the Images of the Salt Gods in Ancient Bashu Lingjing

古代巴蜀陵井的盐神形象丰富多彩、内涵深刻。陵井"天师"盐神是朝廷官方盐利的集中代言人,陵井中的"毒龙"形象则是帝王盐权的专用象征符号。"玉女"盐神则集中代表了下层民众对井盐利益的诉求与渴望。官方与民间的盐神崇拜经过了漫长的博弈过程,最终达到矛盾统一的理想状态。巴蜀陵井的"天师"盐神与"玉女"盐神双峰并峙、各占胜场。

The images of salt gods in the ancient wells of Bashu are rich and colorful with profound connotations.“Tianshi”,the Salt God of Lingjing,is the official spokesman for the salt profit while the image of“poison dragon”of Lingjing is the special symbol of emperor's salt right.The Salt God“Lady of the Jade”represents the lower people's demand and desire of salt interests.After a long game of the worship of the gods between the government and the people,the ideal state of contradictions and unification was finally reached.The Salt God“Tianshi”and“Lady of the Jade”of Lingjing in Bashu were worshiped at the same time.
