略论传统民间信仰的现代变迁——以盘瓠信仰为例

A Brief Discussion on the Modern Changes of Traditional Folk Beliefs:Taking Panhu Belief as an Example

从"中心"与"边缘"、"华夏"与"蛮夷"、"制度性"与"分散性"三个方面看,盘瓠信仰具有典型的"民间"特质,其变迁为中国传统民间信仰的现代变迁提供了颇具典型性的观察案例。改革开放以来,盘瓠信仰在经历一段长时间的沉寂之后开始有了逐渐复兴之势,但复兴之中的盘瓠信仰如同大多数民间信仰那样,为了适应现代社会生活有进一步"弥散化"的趋势,即它的"宗教性"在逐渐减弱,而"民俗性"在慢慢增强。

From the perspectives of“center”and“edge”,“Huaxia”and“Manyi”,“institutional”and“dispersion”,Panhu belief has typical“folk”characteristics.Its changes provide a typical observation case for the modern changes of Chinese traditional folk beliefs.Since the reform and opening up,Panhu belief has gradually revived after a long period of silence.However,the revival of Panhu belief,like most folk beliefs,has a trend of further“dispersion”in order to adapt to modern social life.That is,its“religiousness”is gradually weakening,while its“folk characteristic”is gradually increasing.
