“生殖崇拜”文化叙略

“人法地,地法天,天法道,道法自然”与“道生一,一生二,二生三,三生万物”这两句哲学概念出自《老子》,实际上是取象于天和地的具体事物。天就是看得见的日、月、五星等天体,三运行的定则或轨道就是天道。其周而复始,行道天圆。地分四方与四隅,有四季、八节(后来演为廿四节气);人(男人和女人的关系和合为仁)法天与地就是人道。天地是有道(规则)的,道(规律,运行)又是法于自然的。所以天上有日(阳)、月(阴),人间有父母(乾坤),子女配夫妻。     

建筑装饰艺术的奇葩

山西省灵石县静升镇王家大院,是90年代新发现的清代民居建筑群。王氏家族,自元仁宗皇庆年间在静升镇定居后,经过450个春秋的苦心经营,终于由农到商。由商到官,发展成巨族大户。王氏家族于康熙三年建起拥翠巷,康熙四年建起锁瑞巷,雍正四年在西堡子建起大小两堡,乾隆年间建起红门坚、东南堡、下南堡及钟灵巷王氏住宅群。这五堡三巷一条街,总面积达匕万平方米,规模宏大,十分豪华。除建筑本身外,做为附属的装饰部分,内容丰富,技艺请港,是民间艺术的一朵绚丽的奇葩。十家大院的建筑装饰,最突出的基石雕、砖雕、木雕艺术。这些雕…     

宋明时代徽州的程灵洗崇拜

作为一名载入南朝正史的豪强人物,程灵洗在南宋以降的徽州社会一直是颇具影响力的神祇。当地对程灵洗的崇拜,从宋到元经历了形式上的变化。从南宋最初的露天社祭到世忠庙的营建,从元代程元谭-程灵洗世系关联的建立到元末各地世忠行祠的兴建,崇拜形式变化的过程也是地方神祇正统化的过程,其中地方士大夫是主导力量。随着程灵洗在明初洪武礼制中祀典地位的确立,以及明代中叶徽州商人力量的勃兴,在地方社会组建宗族的潮流之下,程灵洗崇拜不仅逐渐呈现由商人主导的态势,同时也具有了明显的宗族化的倾向。原先各地流行的世忠行祠最终演变成了各地的程氏宗祠,徽州早期的豪强人物程灵洗由此逐渐进入各个支派的程氏谱牒,成为了他们共同的祖先。     

The Phoenicians and the Ocean: trade and worship at La Caleta,Cadiz, Spain

The area of La Caleta, north‐west of Cadiz, is a key location for studies of the relationship between the Phoenician city of Gadir and the ocean. The port channel and the small islets that characterize the area was one the busiest sectors of the city, and there are abundant underwater remains attesting to past commercial activities. The area also had an important religious role: two sanctuaries were located at the western end of the rocky promontories that surround the channel, and many items identified as offerings have been found. This article synthesizes previous research and provides an overview of the results of a recent project (2008–2010), which enables a thorough review of the development of the seascape and its use during the 1st millennium BC.     

商周时期祖先神崇拜的特点新论

商周时期为我国祖先神崇拜最为发达时期,对祖先神的祭祀在社会生活中占有重要的地位.通过甲骨文、金文资料并传世典籍综合分析,商、周祖先神崇拜,有着各自的特点:商代祖先神崇拜的特点是商王掌握着对祖先神的祭祀权,其祭祀是遍祀商王先祖;周代的祖先神崇拜是分层分级的.二者不同的根源在于宗法制的完善、健全与否.     

和平队的历史文化渊源

和平队创建于20世纪60年代肯尼迪政府时期,它是作为一个对外志愿援助机构的面目出现的.之所以在美国出现这样一个援外志愿者组织,除了肯尼迪政府对美国对外政策的调整的现实考虑,更主要是美国具有和平队所提倡的历史文化传统,如美国社会广泛存在的志愿者精神、美国历史上形成的边疆传统和拓荒者精神以及往届政府的政策实践等.     

Music in worship and recreation at Little Gidding in the time of the Ferrars

This paper investigates the use of music in worship and recreation at Little Gidding in the first half of the Seventeenth Century. The major focus is the relatively short period from the establishment of the Ferrar family in the Manor House at Little Gidding in 1626 until the death of Nicholas Ferrar in December 1637. Worship encompasses both the formal services in the churches at Little Gidding and Steeple Gidding, and the informal devotions of the Ferrar family in the Manor House. Recreation is conceived broadly, to embrace both the proceedings of the Little Academy and the “night watches”. In each case, religion and piety are central to the activities. The study begins by investigating the Ferrars’ musical education and competence; it then moves on to music in worship, followed by music in recreation. A section on the organs at Little Gidding and their possible fate is followed by conclusions.
