摘要
布依老祖庙是昆明市东川区因民镇牛厂坪布依族民间信仰的重要活动场所,人们在布依老祖庙里烧香祈愿和祭祀祖先是祖先崇拜的表现方式。通过田野调查发现,布依老祖庙历史悠久,是布依族祖先崇拜较为重要的民间信仰媒介,以布依老祖庙为中心的布依族祖先崇拜与七月蛇节的蛇崇拜、三棵神圣的牛筋树的自然崇拜相互交织,甚至三棵牛筋树都被赋予了先祖的灵魂。在当代,布依老祖庙及祖先崇拜对牛厂坪布依族的民间信仰影响深远,具有血缘纽带的凝聚力、情感寄托和道德约束力等重要意义。
The Bouyei people's ancestral temple located at Niuchangping village, Yinmin town, Dongchuan District of Kunming is an important arena for the celebration of their folk faith. In celebration, the Bouyei people burn joss sticks and offer sacrifices to their ancestors praying for good wishes. With the method of field investigation, two distinctive features are found. First, the Bouyei people's ancestral temple is a significant medium of folk faith for the ancestor worship. Second, the ancestor worship of the Bouyei people is combined with snake worship of Snake Feast in July and nature worship of the three sacred trees called the Niu-jin trees endowed with the spirit of their ancestors. The ancestor worship shows profound influence on the folk faith: the cohesive force of blood ties, emotion placement and the restraint of morality.
