摘要
斩妖、伏魔观念源于远古的禳灾逐疫仪式。关羽在古代中国被“钦定”为“忠义仁勇”的代表,并进一步被赋予了保护神、战神、治水神、正义神、科举神、财神、行业神、送子神等神话形象。本文涉及的“跨文本”包括神话、民间宝卷、善书、图像、仪式等活态文本,与产生这些符号的特定社会历史情境一起,构成“互动仪式链”。仪式在戏剧、宝卷、善书、民间信仰、民俗生活之间搭建起了桥梁,帮助我们还原被西方建构的中国文化,回到真正的中国文学的“生活现场”。
The ideas of slaying evil spirits and subduing monsters originate from the ancient rites for expelling disasters and healing diseases.Among them Guan Yu was defined by emperors of ancient times as a representative of virtues like loyalty,righteousness,benevolence,and bravery,when he was regarded as a guardian god,a god of war,a god of water,a god of justice,a god of imperial examinations,a god of fortune,a god of particular trade,and even a god that gave sons.These roles of Guan Yu were created in connection with the particular circumstances of society in a given time,and gave rise to a chain of rites involving people in different situations.Such roles of Guan Yu in many folk literature texts evolved as a bridge that connected all the myths,folklore and folk beliefs.In this sense it restores Chinese folk literature to what it is,rather than what it is pictured in Western eyes.It allows Chinese folk literature to return to its role of in lifelike scenarios.
