元曲中的泰山神——日本上村幸次相关研究述评

The God of Mount Tai in Yuan Opera——Reviews on the Related Research by Janpanese Scholar Uemura Kouji

上村幸次是日本近现代汉学研究的著名学者,其论文《元曲中所见二郎神与泰山神》发表于1933年,以中国文学中元杂剧为考察对象,研究其中关于二郎神、泰山神等民间信仰内容的剧目。其论文从文献方面考察了二郎神、泰山神信仰的形成与发展,关注了相关剧目中神灵信仰的情节描写,视点独特,考证详实。但对泰山神的考察研究稍显独立,未指出神灵信仰在传承过程中出现的职能转变等现象背后有着同一的社会背景。

Uemura Kouji was a famous scholar on the Modern Sinological Studies. The paper“Erlang God and the God of Mount Tai”in Yuan Drama was published in 1933. This paper takes the Yuan Drama in Chinese literature as the study object, and studies the plays about Erlang god, the god of Taishan and other folk beliefs. In this pa. per, the formation and development of Erlang God and the God of Mount Tai are investigated based on literature. It focused on the plot description of religious belief in some Yuan Dramas. The viewpoint is unique and the research is full-scale and accurate. However, the study on the god of Taishan is somewhat independent, and it does not point out that there is the same social background behind such phenomena as the functional transformation of the god belief in the process of inheritance.
