A Study On The History And Current Status Of Bon Religion In The Middle Reaches Of The Yalong Rive

In order to further understand the remains of the Bon culture in the middle reaches of the Yalong River,this dissertation makes full use of a large number of first-hand Tibetan documents and field data to systematically study from the viewpoint of historical materialism and multidisciplinary research methods.The remains of Bon culture here.From a macro perspective,a "vertical" logical framework has been established in seven aspects: research review,historical traceability,monasteries,typical figures,ancient books and documents,folk culture,and endogenous extension.As the river flows downstream from north to south,the regional development of Bon culture in the seven counties involved is obvious.In general,the upper part of the middle reaches has a vast area,high mountains and deep valleys,high altitude,vast land and sparsely populated areas,and borders are shielded,which makes Bon culture scattered,simple in development and less interaction,thus forming a small-scale temple with rich culture and folk culture.The remaining documents are rich and the folk memories of typical characters are clear.The lower part of the middle reaches has a suitable climate,developed transportation,concentrated population,developed agriculture and developed economy,making it a special geographical location on the "Tibet-Yi Corridor" and "Southern Silk Road".The cultural circle formed by multi-ethnic interaction has left many Bon culture with primitive cultural properties here,making Bon culture a "living fossil" in the western ethnic corridor.As a result,the cultural characteristics of the large number of believers and monks,the diversified development of Bon culture,and the well-preserved folk Bon rituals have been formed.Microscopically,this paper forms a "horizontal" logical framework for the study by analyzing the elements of Bon culture in detail.The conclusion is that firstly,the relationship between Ruoshui and Changyi,Ruoshui and Yak Qiang,Ruoshui and Ruomu is further explored through Ruoshui-related legends and Chinese historical materials.Secondly,this paper proposes a new concept of "Amyes worship",and believes that the primitive Amyes worship originated in the Himalayas is the religious and psychological response of early humans to the worship of nature such as the sun,fire,and light.Its development and continuation have experienced the evolution of ancestor worship,personified god worship,animal worship,and in the final analysis,it is the spartan of early Bon religion.When the "Amyes Worship" matures,that is,the Amyes Worship develops and grows in the Himalayas,and it has become the only crossroads in the entire planet to communicate with the South,the East,the Northwest,and the original Bon and Yongzhong Bon religions developed completely through the Amyes Worship.Finally,the worship of Amyes at the time of Yongzhong Bon religion was highly theorized and became a highly structured belief.For the development of Yongzhong Bon religion in the middle reaches of the Yalong River,this paper classified three time points to comprehensively sort out.Second,I selected more than 20 Bon temples in this research field,conducted a comprehensive and detailed investigation and analysis,and found that many primitive cultural forms in my country have been precipitated here.And under the special humanistic and natural environment,these temples generally exist in large numbers and small scales,and the culture presents the characteristics of singleness,stability,and mature development.And in such a cultural atmosphere,a group of sturdy,decisive,conservative and loyal Yalong people have been cultivated.Through the collection of first-hand biographical documents and oral data collected from the investigation site,and with the contributions of these important elites in the middle reaches of the Yalong River as clues,a relatively clear line for the development of the Bon religion in the middle reaches of the Yalong River has been sorted out.And according to the cultural characteristics of the Yalong River Basin,the four-dimensional development pattern of Bon culture in the middle reaches of the Yalong River is deduced,that is,the interest chain formed by elites,families,family temples,and temples has jointly become the owners of social centripetal force and decision-making power.Thirdly,the four types of Bon literature collected by the folks studied in this paper are all original Bon classics for worshiping the gods in the world.The first is to worship,feast,worship,and praise the gods of the world through "sacred pigeons","foxes" or other high-quality offerings,so as to satisfy the various long-cherished wishes of the gods in the world.And the corresponding spiritual solution in the world needs to remove the defilement suffered by the people,keep sickness and suffering away,or achieve a certain will of the people.That is,a reciprocal relationship of giving and giving back is formed.The second is to highlight the sacred and symbolic meaning of the ritual through dialogue,symbolism and metaphor,which is the source of the ethical norms of the Yalong people.Its essence is an attempt to form a unified public value based on moral constraints,which to a certain extent connects the entire village into an organic community.The large-scale blood sacrifice ceremony appeared in the last document,but through details such as "Fox Talking to Himself" and "Naro Vasang",it reflects the people’s sympathy for sacrifice,and reflects the characteristics of the primitive Bon religion to the Yongzhong Bon religion..In a word,the essence of "resolving filth" is an act of repentance for violating ethics;the essence of "merit" is to highlight the sanctity of the gods in the world;get final rest.Fourth,through the study of the relationship between Bon religion and primitive folk culture,it is found that these primitive folk religions have the characteristics of antiquity,survival,marginality and variability,while Daba,Dingba,Dongba,Bimo,Suni,Lama,Anji and Sngags Ba,as the elites of Bon culture inheritance,play an important role in inheriting and developing Bon culture among the people.Furthermore,the common religious system,cultural zone and psychological identity produced by the inter-ethnic cultures in the southwest region,represented by the middle reaches of the Yalong River,are not only the manifestation of the pluralistic unity of our religious culture,but also our country ’ s cultural identity.The embodiment of the development of religious socialism.
