天长天官画的民俗文化内涵

On the Connotation of Folk Culture in Day Official Paintings of Tianchang

民间艺术的产生离不开民俗文化这个根基,其形式和内容都是民俗文化内涵的展示,天长天官画作为地域性的艺术形式集中反映了天长地区的民风民俗。天长有着水陆交汇的地理位置,作为尧的出生地,从东晋开始,天长就盛行道教文化,这使得天长的民风民俗与道教的教义和宗教活动相互融合。道教虽然是本土宗教,但在形成过程中杂糅了佛教、巫术等信仰于一体,这使得深受道教影响的天长民风民俗的内涵极其丰富,天官画所展示的文化内涵主要体现在先民们祈求天官驱祸、赐福、求财、保平安的世俗心理方面,通过对天官画民俗文化内涵的分析可以了解天长人民的生存状态及世俗心理。

The generation of folk art is inseparable from the foundation of folk culture,whose connotation can be displayed by the forms and contents of folk art.As a form of regional art,day official paintings in Tianchang can reflect folk customs in this region.Tianchang,the birthplace of Yao,is located at the intersection of land and water.In Tianchang,Taoist culture gets popular since the eastern Jin dynasty,because it can integrate folk customs with the doctrines and religious activities of Taoism.Even though Taoism is an indigenous religion in Tianchang,it integrates many folk beliefs together in the development process,such as Buddhism and witchcraft.Folk customs in Tianchang thus present rich connotations due to the influence of Taoism.The rich connotations in day official paintings are mainly embodied in the ancestors’secular psychology in praying,like keeping away from disasters,blessing,seeking money and blessing with safeness.The folk custom culture can help us have a better understanding the survival state and secular psychology of Tianchang people.
