清代皇家寺庙命名方式的符号学探析——以雍和宫为例

A Semiotic Analysis of the Naming Methods of Royal Temples in the Qing Dynasty:Yonghe Gong Lama Temple as an Example

以符号学为视角研究清代皇家寺庙命名方式,即在佛教中国化的逻辑基础上通过符号学的方法对清代边疆治理图景、佛教文化涵化、政教话语结构等问题进行考察。雍和宫是北京目前仍然保存最为完整、佛事活动齐备、历史地位独特、宗教文化繁荣、有僧人驻锡的宗教活动场所和爱国主义教育基地,但其命名方式仍需商榷。从符号学的角度看,雍和宫是由复杂的能指与所指相互联系而成的庞大符号系统。符号学的研究方法也正是在于使意义结构与图像或语言区分开来,并完成意义的确立。因此,以雍和宫为例,通过符号系统与雅克布森六要素模式的相关理论,对雍和宫的命名方式进行分析,探讨符号文本本身的组织方式对铸牢中华民族共同体意识和推动构建中华民族共有精神家园的重要现实意义。

Studying the naming method of royal temples in the Qing dynasty from the perspective of semiotics is to examine issues such as Qing dynasty's border governance situation,Buddhist cultural connotation,and the structure of the discourse of politics and religion through semiotic methods based on the logic of the Sinicization of Buddhism.Yonghe Gong Lama Temple is the most complete religious activity site and patriotic education base in Beijing,which still has the most complete Buddhist activities,unique historical status,prosperous religious culture,and monks residing in the temple.However,its naming method still needs to be discussed.From a semiotic point of view,the Temple is a huge symbolic system composed of complex signifiers and signified interconnected.The research method of semiotics is precisely to distinguish the meaning structure from the image or language and to complete the establishment of meaning.Therefore,this paper intends to take the Yonghe Gong Lama Temple as an example,analyze the naming method of the Temple through the relevant theories of the symbolic system and Jacobson's six-element model,and explore the significance of the organization of the symbolic text itself in forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation and promoting the construction of a common spiritual home of the Chinese nation.
