殷周“地-母”崇拜与原始本体观

The Worship of the "Land-Mother" in Yin and Zhou Dynasties as a Kind of Primitive Monistic Ontology

中国传统哲学本体论的主流范式,是以周《易》为代表的阴、阳二元架构,但在周《易》体系成型之前的殷代宗教及殷、周族源神话中,"地—母"不仅因二者在生生繁衍上的同态意义而受到初民社会的崇拜,而且其中还蕴含了一种朴素的一元本体论观念。这一点又与历史文献所传周《易》体系之前的殷代《归藏》之"易"颇多偶合。

The main pattern of ontology in traditional Chinese philosophy is a kind of dualistic structure represented by the Book of Changes during the Zhou Dynasty. However, before the formation of the book, the 'Land-Mother' has been worshiped for the same form of fecundity between the Land and the Mother in the religion and the mythology related to the tribe origins of Yin and Zhou people. A kind of primitive monistic ontology was also contained in the worship, which in fact coincided in many points with the 'the idea of changes' in 'The Gui Cang' of Yin Dynasty recorded in historical documents before the system of The Book of Changes of Zhou dynasty.
