摘要
中国古代已出现与民间信仰相关的概念,例如唐代的佛教文献多有"信仰"一词,但其含义是指敬神的宗教情感,并不同于民间信仰的含义。民间信仰是在人民大众中自发产生的对具有超自然神力和超人神力的对象的崇拜。民间信仰与人为宗教相比,具有民间性、自发性、多元性和世俗性等特点。
In ancient China, there appeared concept related to folk belief. For example, there was the word ＂belief＂ in the buddhism literatures in the Tang Dynasty. But it mainly refered to religious emotion and was different from folk belief. Folk belief is a kind of spontaneous worship to supernatural divine power and superman power among general public. Compared with man - made religion, folk belief has such characteristics as non - government, spontaneity, diversity and secularity.
