摘要
在商代,巫可与上天沟通,传达上天旨意。从甲骨卜辞记载的商王自己参与占卜的内容看,商王就是商代权力最大的巫者。《墨子》最早记载“商汤求雨”的故事,内容只有祷词。《吕氏春秋》中“商汤求雨”故事情节已经非常丰富,内容充满了巫术色彩,一场大型的君王求雨的故事原型展现出来。甲骨卜辞记载商王求雨时经常采用“以舞求雨”和“祭祀求雨”的方式,求雨方式与灾情的严重程度息息相关。依据出土文献资料可知,传世文献中记载的“商汤求雨”的故事确有发生,其中蕴含的巫风文化对商汤巩固统治、收服民心起到了重要作用。
In the Shang Dynasty,witches can communicate with God and conveyed God′s will.According to the oracle bone inscriptions,the king of Shang participated in divination,and he was the most powerful sorcerer in Shang Dynasty.The story of"Shang Tang asking for rain"was first recorded in Mo Zi,and its content was only prayers,by the time of Lv Shi Chun Qiu,the story of"Shang Tang asking for rain"had been very rich,and its content was full of witchcraft,and a large prototype of the story of kings asking for rain was displayed.In oracle bone inscriptions,it was recorded that the king of Shang often used the methods of"seeking rain by dancing"and"offering sacrifices for rain",and the way to praying for rain was closely related to the severity of the disaster.Combined with unearthed documents,it is known that the story of"Shang Tang asking for rain"recorded in handed down documents is true,and the witchcraft culture contained in it played an important role in Shang Tang′s rule over the Shang Dynasty and in convincing the people.
