摘要
从杨庆堃的"制度宗教"、"扩散宗教",到弗里德曼的"中国宗教体系"等研究论著,皆说明宗教研究在中国总是一个很值得讨论的问题。至于宗教"信仰"在中国的问题可能更有争议。中国宗教是信仰的权力建构,是一种以神人之伦为基础的权力关系的建构。信仰对于中国人而言,常常是指以神人—人际交往关系为基础,涉及天下、国家、道德、民间社会的重要概念。中国宗教及其信仰具有一种独特的整体性,但其"信仰—关系"乃以神人交往、人伦要求为基础,伴随着家族、伦理、国家及其权力关系而逐步建构起来。因此,中国宗教中的神人交往及其信仰,常常呈现出一种个人信仰与家族、伦理、国家、权力之间重叠与互动的整体关系,进而使信仰关系与各种社会权力纠结为一体。
Religion research has been a worthwhile issue in China and this is shown in such works as Yang Qingkun＇s Institutional Religion and Expansion Religion and the Religious System of China by Freedman. The issue of religious belief in China may be a more controversial one. Religion in China is the power construction of belief, based on the Man-God relationship. So far as Chinese people are concerned, belief is usually based on God-Man communication relationship, and covers important concepts about the world, state, morality and folk society. Chinese religion and its belief has a quality of unique integrity, but its belief and relationship are based on GOd-Man communication, ethnical requirement, and are gradually constructed along with family, ethnics, state and its power relationship. Therefore, in Chinese religion God-Man communication and its belief usually shows the integrated relationship of the overlapping and interaction between individual belief and family, ethnics, state and power, which helps belief relationship and a variety of social powers integrate, into one.
