摘要
在比较神话学的视域中,儒家“安贫乐道”的思想与上古时期火焚帝王的神话具有隐匿性的关联,其核心要素是一种被称为“烄”的祈雨仪式,献祭者经历了从帝王、帝女到儒者的转变。从神话-仪式的视角看,帝女因“分有”神性而置换/替代帝王遭受火焚的牺牲,同时由于“女”“雨”二者同性(阴)同构(柔)的巫术法则,女性祈雨的阴柔特征,与儒家之“柔”联系起来。有关祈雨的仪式行为和义理,在后世的传播和转译中积淀为抗拒外在环境的恶劣、以抵达内在神圣之道的文化传统,此即儒家推行的“安贫乐道”的精神内涵。儒家对外在物质之“贫”的扬弃,和对原初“天道”的神圣追求,彰显出中国巫史传统与儒家人生信仰之间的传承关系。
From the perspective of contemporary comparative mythology,the Confucianism idea of"Be Content with a Simple But Virtuous Life"has a hidden connection with the myth of burning emperors in ancient times.Its core element involves the ritual of rain-praying known as"烄(JIAO)”,in which the sacrificer undergoes a transition from emperor and emperor-daughter to Confucian.From the view point of mythy-ritual,the emperor-daughter replaces the emperor because of the"share"of divinity,and because of the witchcraft law of the same sex(yin)is amorphic(soft)of the"female"and rain",the feminine characteristics of women praying for rain are associated with the Confucian"softness".Moreover,the ritual behavior and principles of praying for rain have accumulated the dissemination and translation of later generations as a cultural tradition of resisting the harsh external environment and reaching the inner sacred way.This is the spiritual connotation of Be Content with a Simple But Virtuous Life"promoted by Confucianism,Confucianism's sublation of the external material"poverty"and its sacre.d pursuit of the original the Dao of Heaven"reveal the inheritance relationship between the tradition of Chinese shamanism history and the Confucian life beliefs.
