A Study Of Travel Rituals And Beliefs In The Pre-qin,Qin And Han Dynasties

Travel is closely related to People's Daily life and occupies an important position.In ancient times,limited by natural and social conditions as well as traditional ideas,travel was regarded as a significant and dangerous thing by people at that time.People are afraid to travel far away,but when they have to go out,they will ask travel god for divination in advance,offer sacrifices to god and choose the time,which has formed a lot of taboos on travel and other religious rituals.The purpose of this paper is to analyze the formation and improvement process of travel belief ceremony in the pre-qin,qin and han dynasties,and to see the influence of travel belief and ceremony on the country and the people at that time,as well as the influence on the social style at that time.At the same time,why the influence of travel customs continues to this day,why this custom and ceremony on the construction of traffic and the formation of national character and national culture will have an impact.In terms of the specific operation,the following research ideas are designed according to the research on the belief in deities and travel rituals.First,on the basis of previous studies,combined with the records of handed down literature and unearthed materials,the travel ceremony was sorted out,and the travel ceremony was defined to include the time,place,and expense of the travel for the sacrifice of gods.Secondly,the formation,development and evolution of travel belief are sorted out,including the representative image of travel god,the origin of travel god,the dispute between travel and non-travel,and the causes and influences of travel customs.Third,Ba from the specific ritual ceremony is mainly refers to worship god roads,but the ancient give a farewell dinner and Ba are the same,not clear in the literature,so to Ba ties with line an travel connotation.Fourth,the research on travel ceremony and belief also involves some special trips that are different from land trips,and special trips have special sacrificial rites.Therefore,the sacrificial rites in the sacrificial rites in mountain trips in water road are discussed separately.Fifth,the study of ancient Chinese history should not only be limited to handed down documents and unearthed materials,but also pay attention to the use of anthropological research results.It is also very necessary to compare the travel rituals and beliefs of different nationalities and countries,find out the differences and connections between them and the travel rituals and beliefs in the pre-qin,qin and han dynasties,and take them as a mirror for the study of China's travel related issues.Through the above investigation,the author found that the sacrificial ceremony in the pre-qin,qin and han dynasties underwent a process from complicated to simple,and its status also went through a process in which the sons of heaven and princes had to sacrifice to the popular folk.In the later dynasties,there were sacrificial rites at both the national level and the folk level,but the sacrificial rites at the national level were all symbolic,and the folk people paid more attention to it.The sacrificial rites at the folk level have continued to this day.Secondly,the sacrificial rites of the sacrificial line also chaned:in terms of the time of the sacrificial line,sacrifices were made at fixed times and at any time according to travel needs.In addition,the time from the pre-qin period to the fixed sacrificial line of the qin and han dynasties changed from winter to spring and autumn.Later,there was a humble dog.This was basically in line with Ling chunsheng's proposal that during the Yin and Zhou dynasties,Chinese mainland culture gradually replaced dogs with cattle and sheep from the west to the east,after the qin and han dynasties,and then from the north to the south.Third,in the pre-qin period,travel was still dominated by offering sacrifices to road gods.Drinking farewell dinner was only a minor part.After the ceremony of offering road gods,people would give farewell dinner to them,which was an affiliated part of offering road gods.With the popularity of drinking candied fruit,poems were also popular in the activities before travel,and also formed the type of poems of the ancestor candied fruit.Drinking candied fruit became the main activity before travel,and the meaning of offering sacrifices to the gods gradually fadedFourth,from the original meaning Ba and Fu of the meaning of the same.Fu derived from oracle bone inscriptions Ba,very common in the oracle bone,this word is almost may be expressed as a sacrifice to generic names,which is equivalent to the posterity offering sacrifice,then derived the word pull oninousness Ba Fu Ba and other words,as the name out there oninousness in addition to disaster.Ba it is a sacrifice to eliminate disaster,Fu from a linguistic point of view,it's also continuity,because of the same pronunciation,the text is said to be the special name of the travel ceremony,so add car side to think distinction.From the specific fete ceremony is mainly refers to worship god roads,Ba itself with the ceremony.Fifthly,the travel rituals and beliefs of ethnic minorities are similar to those of the pre-qin,qin and han dynasties.In ancient Greece,Rome and some other modern and contemporary countries,there are travel rituals and taboos,etc.It can be seen that China's travel rituals and beliefs are not individual cases,and these phenomena and problems in China are also part of the common phenomena and problems of mankind.Compared with other nations in the world,it is known that worship of gods in China no longer exists only in myths and legends,but has become a belief of people and is closely related to daily life.Through the comparison,it can be seen that the worship of gods in China has its distinctive characteristics:the ritual of sacrifice is complete,has formed a system,has not been interrupted since ancient times,exists in a wide range,and the practice of worship is common.
