儒生、封禅和泰山文化记忆的形塑

Confucian Scholars, Worship of the Heaven and Earth,and the Image Building of Mount Tai Cultural Memory

封禅作为秦汉政治生活里的一件大事,汉武帝和儒生所预期的目的是不同的。随着汉武帝借助封禅追求长生的失败,封禅的意义发生了转化,越来越与儒生的文化记忆叠合,而固定在泰山这一物质性标志中。泰山由此成为民族圣地,它背负着同时隐蔽了个体性的信仰创伤,这将长期影响中国文化。

As a significant political event in Qin and Han Dynasties, the expectation of Emperor Wu Di in Qin Dynasty and that of the Confucian scholars from worshiping the Heaven and Earth are different. As the Emperor's prospect of longevity through worshiping the Heaven and Earth became slight, the meaning in worshiping the Heaven and Earth was then transformed. Gradually, it was more and more congruent with the cultural memory of the Confucian scholars and therefore was fixed on the Mount Tai, the material symbol. Mount Tai has become the national shrine ever since. It carries and at the same time conceals the individual belief wounds, which will have an impact on Chinese culture over a long period of time.
