摘要
本文以清末民初城市中的行业神崇拜为例,探讨现代化运动过程中信仰空间的变迁形态。衰微固然构成一种整体趋势,但当我们真正进入到历史的深层与那些充满了细节的现场,则会发现,变迁轨迹要曲折和复杂许多。反对迷信的理性化运动往往只构成外在表象,而更直接的原因则潜藏于群体与组织的内部。除此以外,慎终追远和实利主义的祈禳更构成了现代城市中商人群体信仰仪式绵延的深层原因。拟制的血缘关系、被神圣化的祖先神提供了现代组织科层化管理以外,更多文化的、情感的牵系。那些带着荣誉感的追怀与虔诚,体现了变迁时代群体整合的多元面相,也揭示了历史与现代性的复杂内容。
This paper makes the belief in Gods of different industries in cities at the turn of Qing and Republic of China as a case and studies the change of beliefs in modernization.The ideas of practicalism,'Shen Zhong Zhui Yuan'(to carefully attend to the funeral rites of parents and follow them when gone with due sacrifices)became the underlying reasons for the merchants' belief of different industries.Their sanctified 'forefathers' provided them with not only modern management method but also cultural and emotional ties,which reflected the complicated contents of history and modernity.
