文化心理学视角下的“缘”—来源、结构及特点探析

“Yuan” in the Perspective of Cultural Psychology—Exploration of Source, Structure and Characteristics

日常生活中我们常会提起“缘”这个词,“缘”一词最初仅为佛教用语,我们今天所使用的“缘”的概念,是儒释道三家综合作用的产物。“缘”的结构分为单一型和二分型两种。中国人说“缘”的特点很多,总结起来有“泛缘主义”“事前归因”和“功能主义”三大特点。笔者从向内和向外的两个角度,又将“功能主义”细分为“保护功能”和“交往功能”。

In our daily life, we often refer to the word “Yuan”. The word “Yuan” was only a Buddhist termi-nology originally, and the concept of “Yuan” that we use today is the product of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. The structure of “Yuan” is divided into two types of single and dichotomy. There are many types of Chinese using “Yuan”. To sum up they include the “Pan-‘Yuan’ doctrine”, “prior attribution” and “functionalism”. The author divides “functionalism” into “protection function” and “communication function” from two angles of inward and outward.
