內容提要:本文在簡要介紹歷史上的孔子崇拜之後,著重研究了當代的一些官方與非官方的崇孔祭孔儀式,及其所包含的民間信仰成分。隨著20世紀初中華帝國的崩潰,孔子崇拜失去了它的官方地位,而不得不去尋找新的生存形式,以更加適應當代的中國社會。和帝國時代的正統祭孔典禮相比,今天被重構或新發明的儀式都體現出一種隨意、世俗的性格特徵,並且帶上了一些民間信仰的元素。雖然由政府幹預的、行為模式偏於理性的紀念性活動仍屬主流,但民間儒教的市場也不算小。假如政府會放鬆對這方面的控制,大陸必定也會像臺灣、新加坡和馬來西亞那樣,興起一個強大的民間儒教運動。
Abstract: Starting with a brief historical review of the Confucius cult,
this paper examines several official and nonofficial sacrificial rituals
dedicated to Confucius in current times, as well as the popular religious
elements included therein. With the collapse of the Chinese Empire at the
beginning of the 20th century, Confucius’ cult lost its official status and had
to find new forms more adaptive to modern Chinese society. In contrast to the
orthodox sacrificial ritual in Imperial times, the reconstructed or newly
invented rituals show a more secular character with some additional popular
religious elements. Although commemorating events with the intervention of
public authorities and rational behavior. patterns represent the main trend of
the Confucius cult, the market for popular Confucianism is also huge. If the
authorities would relinquish their control in this domain, a strong movement of
popular Confucianism might arise in mainland China similar to the one that
exists in Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia.
