藏族山神信仰溯源

Tracing the Source of Tibetan Mountain God Belief

日征月迈,人们对山神(mountain deity)和神山(sacred mountain)的信仰历久传承,在世界各种宗教中占有非同寻常的地位.远古藏族人所创作的神话故事中记载万物的起源皆是由四种不生不灭的"土、火、水、风"原始的物质组成,其中,"土"元素即是随处可见的自然山体,拥有着源源不断的能量,象征着超自然的存在及永恒.它是神的家园乐土,是氏族祖先以及英雄亡灵的最终归宿.源远流长的山神文化深深影响着在这里世世代代生活的藏族人民.

During the Japanese expedition,the beliefs of the mountain deity and the sacred mountain have been passed down for a long time and occupy an extraordinary position in various religions around the world.The mythical stories created by the ancient Tibetans record that the origins of all things are composed of four primitive materials of"earth,fire,water and wind"that are immortal.Among them,the"earth"element is the natural mountain that can be seen everywhere.With a steady stream of energy,it symbolizes the supernatural existence and eternity.It is the homeland of God's homeland,the ultimate destination of clan ancestors and heroic undead.The well-established mountain god culture has deeply influenced the Tibetan people who have lived here for generations.
