A Preliminary Study Of Songshan Belief In Ancient China

Mountain belief is an important link in the belief system of ancient China.Since the Pre-Qin Dynasty,there has been the idea of "the country stands by mountains and rivers" in the ancient Chinese ideological system.Therefore,the gods of mountains and mountains will be so important that even kings will sacrifice mountains and rivers for their lives and deaths.Songshan has been regarded as a bridge between heaven and earth since ancient times.It is known as the place where "heaven and earth" is located.At the same time,Songshan is also located in the "Zhongyue" among the five mountains.Therefore,the study of Songshan belief has an important role and value.We can deeply understand and understand the development and change of Songshan belief.In the first chapter,starting from the ancient society with extremely low productivity,mountains provide people with material life and spiritual security,extending mountain worship.Songshan,as one of the five mountains,is one of the birthplaces of ancient Chinese culture.Many scholars are interested in it and have studied the geology,architecture,humanities,sacrifice and other aspects of Songshan Mountain.However,few of them have explored it from the perspective of the overall system of feudal social hierarchy in China.Therefore,the top-down study of Songshan is helpful to understand the changes of Songshan in ancient society.At the same time,it is also an attempt based on specific geographical research.The second chapter,mainly from three aspects,elaborates the ideological background of Songshan.First,the position of mountains in ancient China,and the impact on the people at that time.Secondly,under the worship of ancient Chinese mountains,the formation of the concept of "heaven and earth" enables people to understand ancient Chinese thoughts and the origin of Songshan as "heaven and earth".Thirdly,from the perspective of ancient Chinese thought,to explore the impact on Songshan in this ancient ideological background.It is under the influence of these three aspects that the particularity of Songshan Mountain was created.Chapter three studies the development and change of Songshan Mountain through the national sacrificial level.It is divided into four parts,which are progressing according to the time of historical development.Firstly,in the Qin and Han Dynasties,there was no distinction between the initial five mountains in the national sacrifices and the establishment of the system in the Han Dynasty.Songshan,as one of the five mountains,was included in the national sacrifices,and it was guaranteed by the system,but Mount Tai was solely respected by the ritual of feuding Buddhism.Secondly,in the Wei,Jin and Sui dynasties,from splitting to unification,each tribe hopes to get its orthodox recognition and respond positively to the mountains and rivers within its territory.Until the Sui Dynasty,the two emperors actively resumed the hunting ceremony.Emperor Wen and Emperor Yang toured Mount Tai,Beiyue and Xiyue,and the situation of equal etiquette appeared in the five mountains.In the Tang Dynasty,Wu Zetian called Songshan a god,and named its God King of Heaven and Songshan a Buddhist monk.Change the tradition of the past dynasty.During this period,Songshan was respected in the political environment at that time.Wu Zetian has been recognized by the orthodoxy of Songshan Mountain.Finally,in the Song,Ming and Qing Dynasties,the social disasters of the Song Dynasty at that time reflected the practicability of sacrifices to Songshan,and no longer sought the legitimacy.In the Ming and Qing Dynasties,sacrifices to Songshan Mountain were more in conformity with tradition,reflecting a symbolic significance.Chapter ?,on the basis of the first three chapters,we ultimately want to achieve whether Songshan's folk beliefs are consistent with the changes in national sacrifices.First of all,the image of Songshan God and its function in the political environment at that time.Secondly,the relationship between Songshan God and social needs in the succession of dynasties.Thirdly,from the perspective of the seclusion of Songshan Mountain,this paper elaborates the functional changes of Songshan Mountain.Finally,whether there is a consistent change between the national sacrificial level and the folk belief level in Songshan...
