日本京都大将军八神社与中国文化的渊源--兼论阴阳道在中日文化关联中的一个侧面

摘要

日本京都大将军八神社与中国古代的民间信仰关系密切。其所祭祀的大将军等八将神虽被视为阴阳道体系中的神灵，却是中国鬼神传入日本后“在地化”文化演变的结果。而大将军信仰的历史变迁，不仅反映了日本阴阳道流变的一个轨迹，从中也可窥见中日文化关系里的一种内在血脉关联性。%The Daishōgun Hachi Shrine in Kyoto is closely related to ancient Chinese popular religion .“Great General” ( Daishōgu or Da Jiangjun ) , worshiped in this shrine , is regarded as an onmyōdō’s ( the Way of Yin and Yang in Japan ) deity which originated from China , though it had been localized completely . The historical changes of Daishōgu belief actually mirror the trace of the changes of onmyōdōand display the close affinities between Chinese and Japanese Culture .
