The Ethnic Characteristics in the Religious Culture Presented in The Book of Songs

Article Summary by: TsingHua    

Original Author: Journal of Guizhou University(Social Scionce)
This abstract was translated from 试论《诗经》宗教文化的族群特色
With the help of the relevant poems such as Zhou Song and Da Ya, the writer of the present paper finds firstly that people
in the Zhou Dynasty regard virtue as the medium of supernatural reaction, and their religious culture demonstrates the features of soberness and solemnness, which infers that the phenomena have something to do with “agricultural production mode”, and “the lesson from the Yin Dynasty”. Secondly, the writer finds that people in the Song Dynasty regard desire as the medium of supernatural reaction based on the study of Sang Song. Its religious culture demonstrates the features of confusion and overbearing, which infers that the phenomena have something to do with the influence of uncivilized convention of the religion in the Yin Dynasty. Finally, the writer tentatively believes that Zhounan·Hanguang may be a sacrificial poem through which people in the Chu attracted the goddess of the River Han, with which the writer analyzes the eccentric characteristic of the religious culture of the people in the Chu, combined with Jiu Ge. Actually, the eccentric characteristic comes from the fact that the people in the Chu regard passion as medium of supernatural reaction in their religious activities. In addition to this, the writer infers that the phenomena may be influenced by the primitive religious culture of the original inhabitants there.
