上海龙舞的历史渊源与当代价值

The Historical Origin and Contemporary Value of Shanghai Dragon Dance

上海所在的江南地区是龙舞的起源地,大约在汉代,龙舞发展过程中出现了求雨仪式和娱乐表演两条道路。舞龙祈雨仪式在唐代逐渐衰落,这种情况与国家立祠祭祀四海龙王的制度有关。从全国范围来看,龙舞在明清时期的江南地区非常盛行,这与隋、宋等朝代将官方祭祀东海龙王的祠庙设在江南密切相关。保护和传承上海龙舞具有当代价值:第一,上海龙舞作为江南龙崇拜的产物,是我们认知和研究江南龙文化,并借此深入推进长三角地区一体化发展的重要载体;第二,上海龙舞的发展过程也反映了上海本地的发展变化,是我们研究上海社会发展史的重要材料;第三,上海龙舞表现了感恩自然的祈报意识,以及人与自然和谐相处的认知,了解和认知这些传统意识,对于我们促进人与自然和谐共生有重要价值。
