琉球王府的时间想象:以祭祀仪式择日为例

The Ryukyu Royal Government’s Imagination of Time:A Case Study of Selecting Auspicious Dates for Sacrificial Ritual

琉球王府在琉球群岛时间文化形成的过程中起到重要作用,而中国的时空观念则为琉球王府认识和想象世界提供了依据。琉球的太阳信仰与源自中国的时空观念共同影响了王府祭祀仪式"君手摩百果报事"的择日。琉球王府吸收了来自中国的时间文化,并结合海岛生态对其进行了调整,使之更符合本地人的精神世界。

Inspired by the Chinese views of time and space,the Ryukyu royal government's cosmology,which was inspired by the Chinese view of time and space,had played a significant role in shaping the concept of time of the Ryukyu Islands.The sun worship in Ryukyu culture and the China-originated mindset both had impacts on Ryukyu Royal government's choice on auspicious dates for kimitezuri-no-momogaho-goto,a major sacrificial ritual of the Ryukyu kingdom.Based on the oceanic environment and native spiritual beliefs,the Ryukyu royal government had absorbed the time culture of China and adjusted it according to the ecology of the island to make it more in line with the spiritual world of the locals.
