الديانة الشعبية الصينية

(تم التحويل من الدين الشعبي الصيني)

الديانة الشعبية الصينية Chinese folk religion أو ديانة الهان الشعبية Han folk religion[1]، هي التقليد الديني لشعب الهان، والذي يشمل تبجيل قوى الطبيعة والأسلاف، طرد الأرواح من القوات الضارة، والايمان بالنظام العقلاني للطبيعة الذي يمكن أن يتأثر بالبشر وحكامهم وكذلك الأرواح والآلهة.[2] العبادة مكرسة لتعددية الآلهة والخالدين (神 shén)، التي يمكن أن تكون ظاهرة، سلوك بشري، أو الأسلاف. القصص المتعلقة بهذه الآلة مجموعة في الأساطير الصينية. بحلول القرن الحادي عشر (فترة سونگ) امتزجت هذه الممارسات بأفكار الكارما البوذية (التي يفعلها المرء) والميلاد من جديد، والتعاليم الاطوية المتعلقة بهرمية الآلهة، لتشكيل النظام الديني الشعبي الذي استمر بعدة طرق حتى يومنا هذا.[3]

للديانات الصينية مجموعة مرجعيات، أشكال محلية، خلفيات تأسياسية، وتقاليد طقسية وفلسفية متنوعة. بالرغم من هذا التنوع، إلا أن هناك جوهر مشترك يمكن تلخيصه على أنه أربعة مفاهيم لاهوتية وكونية وأخلاقية:[4] تيان ()، السماء، المرجع المتعالي للمعنى الأخلاقي؛ qi ()، النفس أو الطاقة التي تحفز الكون؛ jingzu (敬祖تبجيل الأسلاف؛ وbao ying (報應)، المعاملة بالمثل الأخلاقية؛ جنباً إلى جنب مع اثنين من المفاهيم التقليدية للقدر والمعنى:[5] ming yun (命運)، المصير أو الازدهار الشخصي؛ ويوان فن (緣分)، "التزامن المصيري"،[6] الفرص الجيدة والسيئة والعلاقات المحتملة.[6]

الهوامش

  1. ^ The graphical etymology of Tian 天 as "Great One" (Dà yī 大一), and the phonetical etymology as diān 顛, were first recorded by Xu Shen.[8] John C. Didier in In and Outside the Square (2009) for the Sino-Platonic Papers discusses different etymologies which trace the character Tian 天 to the astral square or its ellipted forms, dīng 口, representing the north celestial pole (pole star and Big Dipper revolving around it; historically a symbol of the absolute source of the universal reality in many cultures), which is the archaic (Shang) form of dīng 丁 ("square").[9] Gao Hongjin and other scholars trace the modern word Tian to the Shang pronunciation of 口 dīng (that is *teeŋ).[9] This was also the origin of Shang's 帝 ("Deity"), and later words meaning something "on high" or "top", including 頂 dǐng.[9] The modern graph for Tian 天 would derive from a Zhou version of the Shang archaic form of 帝 (from Shang oracle bone script[10]Shang archaic form of Di.svg, which represents a fish entering the astral square); this Zhou version represents a being with a human-like body and a head-mind informed by the astral pole (→ Zhou archaic form of Tian.svg).[9] Didier furtherly links the Chinese astral square and Tian or Di characters to other well-known symbols of God or divinity as the northern pole in key ancient cultural centres: the Harappan and Vedic-Aryan spoked wheels,[11] crosses and hooked crosses (Chinese wàn 卍/卐),[12] and the Mesopotamian Dingir Cuneiform sumer dingir.svg.[13] Jixu Zhou (2005), also in the Sino-Platonic Papers, connects the etymology of 帝, Old Chinese *Tees, to the Indo-European Deus, God.[14]
  2. ^ Temples are usually built in accordance with feng shui methods, which hold that any thing needs to be arranged in equilibrium with the surrounding world in order to thrive. Names of holy spaces often describe, poetically, their collocation within the world.
  3. ^ The White Sulde (White Spirit) is one of the two spirits of Genghis Khan (the other being the Black Sulde), represented either as his white or yellow horse or as a fierce warrior riding this horse. In its interior, the temple enshrines a statue of Genghis Khan (at the center) and four of his men on each side (the total making nine, a symbolic number in Mongolian culture), there is an altar where offerings to the godly men are made, and three white suldes made with white horse hair. From the central sulde there are strings which hold tied light blue pieces of cloth with a few white ones. The wall is covered with all the names of the Mongol kins. The Chinese worship Genghis as the ancestral god of the أسرة يوان.
  4. ^ The main axis of the Taoist Temple of Fortune and Longevity (福壽觀 Fúshòuguān) has a Temple of the Three Patrons (三皇殿 Sānhuángdiàn) and a Temple of the Three Purities (三清殿 Sānqīngdiàn, the orthodox gods of Taoist theology). Side chapels include a Temple of the God of Wealth (財神殿 Cáishéndiàn), a Temple of the Lady (娘娘殿 Niángniángdiàn), a Temple of the Eight Immortals (八仙殿 Bāxiāndiàn), and a Temple of the (God of) Thriving Culture (文昌殿 Wénchāngdiàn). The Fushou Temple belongs to the Taoist Church and was built in 2005 on the site of a former Buddhist temple, the Iron Tiles Temple, which stood there until it was destituted and destroyed in 1950. Part of the roof tiles of the new temples are from the ruins of the former temple excavated in 2002.
  5. ^ The image is a good synthesis of the basic virtues of Chinese religion and Confucian ethics, that is to say "to move and act according to the harmony of Heaven". The Big Dipper or Great Chariot in Chinese culture (as in other traditional cultures) is a symbol of the axis mundi, the source of the universe (God, Tian) in its way of manifestation, order of creation (li or Tao). The symbol, also called the Gate of Heaven (天門 Tiānmén), is widely used in esoteric and mystical literature. For example, an excerpt from Shangqing Taoism's texts:
    "Life and death, separation and convergence, all derive from the seven stars. Thus when the Big Dipper impinges on someone, he dies, and when it moves, he lives. That is why the seven stars are Heaven's chancellor, the yamen where the gate is opened to give life."[16]
  6. ^ Temples of the Jade Deity, a representation of the universal God in popular religion, are usually built on raised artificial platforms.
