The Famous Buddhism Mountains
Mosque (清真寺)

• In front of Taoist temples, there are mountain gates, Huabiao (marble pillar) and fan’gan (幡杆). • Outside the Huabiao is the earthly world (俗界), inside it is the celestial place (仙界).
The most sacred Taoist mountain —Dragon-Tiger Mountain
• Dragon-Tiger Mountain is located at the southwestern suburb of Yingtan, Jiangxi Province. It is the birthplace of the Taoist religion.

中国的宗教与文化早期中国宗教还得追溯到神话史前时期。

通常中国文化的起源是从公元前3000年前的夏朝说起。

关于这个朝代没有历史考证,流传下来的都来自神话传说。

在一般被称为商朝的公元前1766年至公元前1122年,才能找到发展文化和宗教的记录。

商朝的宗教以甲骨文占卜、祖先膜拜为特征。

那个时期,人们相信燃烧牛骨或乌龟壳产生的碎片是神的暗示,昭示内容多样,例如疾病、天气或狩猎。

神祗信仰和祖先崇拜在中国人的生活中代代延续下来,形成了所谓民间宗教的根基。

事实上,民间宗教是早期宗教和三大教派佛教、儒教、道教一些元素的杂糅。

民间宗教的核心是在家中或庙宇的祭坛上对神祗和祖先进行膜拜。

民间宗教中神祗众多,其中最有名的是天庭的最高统治者玉帝,还有代表仁慈、守护妇女和儿童的女神观音。

在周朝,一个结构脉络更加明显的宗教诞生了。

这与孔子(公元前551年—公元前479年)的传教有关。

孔子致力于建立一个社会政治道德体系,其理论根基为人性本善,并在此基础上建立了人的命运和社会关系的理论。

他相信天道之学,祈祷时上天会给予暗示。

他强调五种关系——父子、君臣、夫妻、兄弟、朋友——具体表现在礼(正确的礼仪)、和(和谐)上。

这些关系根植于对家庭的敬重中,其中对祖先崇拜占首要位置,将他们当做神一般来敬仰,从当时的国家祭祀中就可以窥见一斑。

经典儒家教义可分为两部分:四书和五经。

四书包括《论语》(孔子与他学生的对话)、《孟子》、《大学》、《中庸》。

而五经年代更早,由孔子发扬光大,五经分别是《易》、《书》、《诗》、《礼》、《春秋》。

儒家文化传播的过程中派生了许多派系,每个派系都产生了一个大师级的人物。

其中最有名的是孟子(公元前371年—公元前289年)和荀子(大约公元前313年—公元前238年)。

孟子和荀子的思想精髓是恰恰相反的,他们对人性有不同的见解。

孟子认为人的本性是好的,环境使他们变坏。

因此,孟子强调通过教育,可以将人内心深处的善发掘出来。

中国宗教改革论纲

中国宗教改革论纲

导言:何谓“中国宗教”?本文所谓“中国宗教”,即一般所谓“儒释道“、用英文说,即chinese religions而非religions in china。

“释”指一般认为巳中国化了的佛教;“道”指一般认为是中国自产的道教;“儒”指一般与前二者并称的儒教,它当然也是中国自产的。

就是说,这三者被公认为其有中国属性。

至于这三者是否是宗教,则对佛教与道教之为宗教,一般并无争论;但对儒教之为宗教,学术界中反对者甚众。

故有必要说明“中国宗教”包含儒教的理由。

在讨论儒教是否宗教之前,最好先考虑两个问题:(甲)在中国历史上占统治地位或居主流地位的宗教中,除了佛教和道教之外,是否还有一种?(乙)假如还有一种,它与“儒家”或“儒学”是否有关,有关的程度是否足以称之为“儒教”?问题(甲)的答案是肯定的。

在佛道之外,还有一种在中国历史上占统治地位的宗教,那就是到20世纪至少绵延3000年不绝的、以天帝信仰和祖先崇拜为主要内容的观念和祭仪体系。

它远在佛教传入和道教兴起之前就已产生(早在甲骨文中即有记载),即在佛道最盛时亦未消失(隋唐时仍被奉为正统),既非佛亦非道。

但它确实是一种宗教,因为它不但具有宗教的本质特征,即对终极者(“天”)的信仰,而且具备宗教的所有基本要素,即与此信仰相关的情感体验和思想观念(从殷墟卜辞中商王祖先“宾于帝”的说法,到《尚书》、《诗经》中君民皆有的“上帝”、“天命”观念,从2000多年中无数儒生为“天道”、“天理”所作的理论论证;到现代汉语中众多与“天”相关的用法所表现的中国人的集体无意识),以及与此信仰相关的行为活动和组织制度(从公元前10世纪开始的天子七祀诸侯五祀大夫三祀士二祀庶人一祀,到20世纪下半叶仍可见于中国家庭的“天地君亲师”牌位供奉,从3000年前确立的与此祭祀相关的宗法制度,到今天又复活于中国乡村的宗族组织)。

问题(乙)的答案也是肯定的。

因为对上述宗教的思想观念即天道天命观念,组织制度即宗法祭祀制度,不但加以接受而且竭力维护的,恰恰是以孔子为代表的先秦儒家;不但加以神学解说而且奉为独尊国教的,恰恰是以董子为代表的汉代儒家;不但提升其理论高度而且增加其统治强度的,恰恰是以朱子为代表的宋代儒家。

Chinese religion

Chinese religion

Chinese religionConfucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are the three main religions which together form the basis of Chinese religious practices and beliefs. Far from eliminating traditional Chinese folk customs, all three religions have continued to develop through the ages with a variety of local names and colouring. In fact, Chinese religion is a fusion of several kinds of belief, which developed over thousands of years by strongly influencing and interrelating with each other, and it is extremely rare to find a pure Confucianist, Buddhist or Taoist as each of the three religions has become inextricably interwoven with the other two.Confucianism (Rujia,儒敎) Confucianism is based on the teachings Confucius (Kongzi 孔子, c.551-479 BC) who was a philosopher and political theorist. His teachings were amalgamated by his students and recorded in the Analects (lunyu論語). Confucian writings discussed the role of the ruler and the subject and proposed moral values to direct them both. The harmony of the natural world was seen as responding to the moral conduct of the sovereign and its people, and the cosmos was thus drawn into the ritual practices of the state. Confucian rituals also embraced all aspects of family life, including ceremonies to show respect to ancestors and the preparation of burials by subsuming the earlier ancestor cults. Confucianism has continued to deeply influence the cultural background of Chinese people in their daily lives.Buddhism (fojiao, 佛敎) Buddhism was introduced to China in the Han dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), along the trade routes which are now known as the “Silk Road”. It was properly established and patronised by the Northern Wei (386-535 AD) and other non-Chinese dynastic houses who ruled northern China after the third century AD. The religion is based on the teachings of Sakyamuni Buddha (born c. 563 BC), the founder of Buddhism who was born in ancient India. The tenets of Buddhism were concerned primarily with individual salvation, teaching that the release from suffering came through conquering worldly desires. Integrating the ideas of Confucianism, Taoism and other folk religions, Buddhism has played an important role in forming the mindset of Chinese people and society.According to a recent survey, China now has the largest number of Buddhist believers in the world, followed by Japan.Taoism (Daojiao, 道敎)Taoism, also known as Daoism, is a religion which is indigenous to China and its name comes from the Chinese dao (道), literally “path” or “way”. Taoism originated in the Kingdom of Chu during the Warring States period (480-221 BC). Taoism stresses “non-action” (wuwei, 無爲), as opposed to the busy round of official and social rituals and practices, in order to allow nature to reign. The Daodejing (道德經), a philosophical text attributed to a figure known as Laozi (老子), emphasises the need to retire from the world and master the dao (道). In other words, the only way to achieve a free, happy and independent life is to stay away from the constraints of morality, ritual and politics. Along with Buddhism, Taoism developed popular parallel branches. The two faiths also shared a complex and interrelated relationship and had a number of religious ideas and practices in common, which is also reflected in the fact that until recently most Chinese people tended to consider themselves both Buddhist and Taoist.。
