中国帝王封禅考略

封禅是中国古代国家级的祭祀大典,对中国古代的社会文化多方面影响巨大,但时至今日诸多重要问题仍不明晰。我们以为封禅既非始自泰山也非仅在泰山,而泰山后来之所以能脱颖而出,成为众望所归的封禅正宗所在,却又同其独具的文化渊源有密切关系：如天梯神话、东夷人的生命地、东夷族的中心等。此外,封禅作为非常的祭祀大典,虽然各帝封禅的目的不尽相同,但与帝王的平常巡游有严格区分,不应加以混同。

A Brief Study on The Fengshan Ceremony Held by Emperors In Ancient China

Fengshan ceremony was a very important loyal sacrifice ceremony in feudal society and exerted great influence on the social culture of ancient China, however it remained unclear to researchers until the present day. It＇s not believed that Fengshan Ceremony started from Mount Tai and was held in Mount Tai only. The reason why Mount Tai became the venue of the ceremony and stood out among the mountains in China is that people expected it happened that way and it was also related to the unique cultural resources in Mount tai, for instance, the myth of heavenly stairs, origin of Eastern foreigners, the center of the Eastern foreigners. In addition, the paper points out that Fengshan, a very special sacrifice ceremony with different expectations from the emperors, should be differentiated from the routine royal tours.
