摘要
中国龙王信仰的基础是先秦时代的龙崇拜,之后在佛教影响、民间创造及统治者的推动下不断变化并在宋代最终定型。这一过程涉及三个重要节点:第一个节点是龙神信仰的形成,涉及龙从兽形到人形、祈雨形式从巫术到祭祀的变化,佛教在其中发挥了重要作用;第二个节点是"龙王"名称的采用及其信仰的普及,宋代统治者出于集权目的的封赐促成了这一变化;第三个节点是海龙王信仰的形成,涉及四海龙王对传统四海神的取代,这一时期龙王地位的上升、佛教影响的扩大都起到了助推作用。
The foundation of the dragon king cult in China is the dragon worship in the pre-Qin period,which has been constantly changing under the influence of Buddhism,folk culture,and rulers’ policy,and was finalized in the Song Dynasty.This process includes three stages,the first being the formation of the dragon god cult,which includes the dragon’s image changing from animal to human,and the form of praying for rain changing from witchcraft to sacrifice.Buddhism played an important role in this stage.The second stage is people’s adoption of the name of dragon king,which also led to the popularization of the cult.The Song Dynasty rulers contributed to this change.The third stage is the formation of the sea dragon king cult.The dragon kings of the four seas replaced the gods of them during this period.The rise of the dragon king’s status and the expansion of Buddhism both played important roles.
