明清笔记小说中的另类梦境故事:昼寝梦享

The Weird Dream Stories in Literary Sketches in Ming and Qing Dynasties: Enjoying the Oblation in Siesta

中国古代小说中有很多关于梦境故事的描写,其中多数是夜寝之梦,昼寝之梦则主要是昼寝判案、梦中建功立业、托梦求葬、梦中得好诗好句等典型故事。至于昼寝梦享,指的是古人在午睡时于梦中享受别人祭祀的食物。这种现象的由来和古人“灵魂不灭”“万物有灵”的信仰有着紧密的联系,也与佛教六道轮回思想有关。在中国古代,梦与祭祀关系密切,人类的一切活动皆离不开祭祀。对祖先的祭祀离不开儒家文化中的孝道思想,也与中元节这一特定的节日习俗有着紧密联系。

There are many descriptions of"dreamland"stories in ancient Chinese novels,but most of these dream stories are dreams that occur at night while you sleep.Dreams about daytime sleep,most of them are the type of stories in which the judge decides the case in the daytime,makes achievements in the dream,asks for burial in the dream,and has good poems and good sentences in the dream.Little research has been done on the"Take a nap and enjoy food in your dream",in which ancient people enjoyed sacrificial food during their naps.The origin of this phenomenon is closely related to the ancient belief in"The soul is immortal."and"All things have spirit".At the same time,it also has something to do with the six-way reincarnation of Buddhism.In ancient China,the relationship between dream and sacrifice was extremely close,and all human activities were inseparable from sacrifice.The sacrifice to ancestors is inseparable from the filial piety of Confucian culture.Also cannot leave the special folk custom festival,Ghost Festival.
