【摘要】：祭祀是一种人神交接之道,其实质是一种宗教性的行为。但中国的祭祀,从西周开始,随着人文理性的觉醒,即逐渐在消解祭祀的宗教性色彩,瓦解其宗教性功能。先秦儒家则从祀典制定原则、祭祀应遵循之礼、祭祀的社会功能等角度对祭祀作了理论上的诠释。儒家祭祀理论的指向是现实的世界,关注于现实世界的道德伦理与政治社会秩序;儒家祭祀的目的是非世俗功利性的,而是将之视作一种道德的践履与人情感的慰藉;儒家的祭祀是人文的,而非宗教的,它是一种利用宗教形式而实现人文教化的礼仪体系。儒家祭祀理论可以赋予现代祭祀以人文道德内涵,使之成为道德与情感的人文仪式,引导现代祭祀向人文主义的方向发展。
[Abstract]:Sacrifice is a way of people and gods, and its essence is a kind of religious behavior.However, since the Western Zhou Dynasty, with the awakening of humanistic reason, the religious color of sacrifice has gradually been dispelled and its religious function has been disintegrated.The pre-Qin Confucianists made a theoretical interpretation of sacrifice from the point of view of the principles of sacrifice, the rites that should be followed and the social function of sacrifice.The aim of Confucian sacrifice theory is not secular utilitarianism, but it is regarded as a kind of solace of moral practice and human emotion, and the aim of Confucian sacrifice is not secular utilitarian, and it pays close attention to the moral ethics and political and social order of the real world, and the purpose of Confucian sacrifice is not secular utilitarian, but as a consolation of moral practice and human emotion.Confucian sacrifice is humanistic, not religious, it is a ritual system to realize humanism and enlightenment by using religious form.The Confucian theory of sacrifice can endow modern sacrifice with humanistic moral connotation, make it a humanistic ceremony of morality and emotion, and guide modern sacrifice to the direction of humanism.
