摘要
神树图像是人类社会分布最广的象征符号之一,隐含着人类信仰变迁的历史轨迹。中国神树图像具有典型的历史分期特征:先秦时期的神树图像是原始信仰遗存的产物,两汉时期充满了"仙"气,魏晋至隋唐时期"胡"气较重,宋元明清时期则世俗气息浓厚。作为传统中国信仰变迁物质载体的中国古代神树图像,其发展历程展现了中国古代信仰由重"神"向重"现世"的转型过程。因此,中国神树图像应被视为更为宏大的社会文化及其信仰系统的有机部分。
The image of the holy trees was the one of the most widely distributed symbols in human society which implies the historic changes of human beliefs and reflects the typical historical characteristics. The image of the holy trees was the product of primitive beliefs during the period prior to Qin Dynasty characterized with immortals in Han Dynasty. The image of the holy trees was featured with secular flavor during the period from Song Dynasty to Qing dynasty after with exotic culture during the period from Wei Dynasty and Jin Dynasty to Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. The development of the image of the holy trees in ancient China as the material carrier of the changes of traditional Chinese beliefs displays the transition from stressing gods to stressing the secular factors.Therefore,the image of the Chinese holy trees should be considered as the organic part of the system of the grand social cultures and beliefs.
