【摘要】：长期以来,由于中国民间信仰(宗教)具有制度化程度低、分散性强等特点,且与其他宗教的界限不清晰,因此学术研究中很难对其进行社会学意义上的统计和测量。这也是中国学术界对中国民间信仰及其研究存在许多争议的原因之一。本文通过对美国皮尤研究中心(Pew Research Center)2012年发布的全世界宗教信仰人口数据的分析,并通过观察其他国家和地区的民间(传统)宗教信仰,尝试通过"他山之石"认识中国的民间信仰,并关照其相关研究。本文所言之"世界宗教"视野,主要包括两个方面:其一,从"世界宗教格局"定位中国民间信仰;其二,从非洲宗教的变迁,从作为世界第三大宗教的印度教的角度,审视中国的民间信仰的变迁,思考中国民间信仰的持续兴盛的动因,并认识中国民间信仰的"中国性"。
[Abstract]:For a long time, Chinese folk beliefs (religions) have the characteristics of low degree of institutionalization, strong dispersion and unclear boundaries with other religions, so it is very difficult to carry out sociological statistics and measurement in academic research. This is one of the reasons why there are many controversies about Chinese folk belief and its research in Chinese academic circles. This paper analyzes the worldwide data on religious beliefs released by Pew Research Center in 2012, and looks at folk (traditional) religious beliefs in other countries and regions. This paper tries to understand Chinese folk beliefs through the stone of other mountains and take care of its relevant research. The vision of "world religion" as described in this paper mainly includes two aspects: first, positioning Chinese folk beliefs from the perspective of "world religious pattern"; second, from the point of view of the changes of African religions and Hinduism, as the third largest religion in the world. This paper examines the vicissitude of Chinese folk belief, ponders the cause of its continued prosperity, and recognizes the "Chinese character" of Chinese folk belief.
