被世俗理性利用的神灵们——浅析儒家文化对中国民众宗教信仰的影响
The Influence of Confucianism on Chinese Religions
【摘要】 作为正统思想存在的儒家文化长期左右着中国民众的思想意识,受着世俗理性支配的人们因此常常表现出极端重视现世生活的人生态度,即使信奉某一神灵也常是出于功利动机——为了求得神灵对现世生活的保佑或借助神灵摆脱实际生活中的困境,而很少追求灵魂上的皈依。中国民众淡漠的宗教意识和对宗教无可无不可的意向使超凡脱俗的宗教不得不依据中国民众的现实需要而改头换面,这在一定程度上阻碍了宗教制度在中国的出现,而完全意义上的神学至今仍未建立起来。
【Abstract】 The Confucianism,as the orthodox,unobtrusively influences the ideology of the Chinese people.Therefore, people dominated by secular reasons usually have an extreme attitude that attaches too much importance to this life.Even if they believe in some God,it is motivated by utilitarianism,that is to pray for the blesses of this life getting out of the predicament.Unconventional religion has to change its appearance according to Chinese people’s reality needs because of their indifferent religions and unessential intention,which to some extent hinders the emergence of religion in China,hence the complete theology hasn’t been founded until now.
