论我国民间信仰的多元一体化格局

我国民间信仰存在多元一体化之格局。所谓＂多元＂,是各地民间信仰表现的极端多样化;所谓＂一体＂,是全民族大体一致的以＂天地君亲师＂为至尊的信仰秩列。民间信仰多元一体化格局的形成具有多方面的原因;形成之路径,主要有民族迁徙与神道设教、感恩祈福等方面。民间信仰以社神和祖先崇拜为根基,＂天地君亲师＂五位亦以地（社）、亲（祖先）为核心,故中国民间信仰宜称为＂社祖教＂。

On the Integrated Pattern of Diversity of the Chinese Folk Beliefs

Diverse patterns with integration exist in the folk beliefs of China.The so-called ＂diverse patterns＂ mean the extremely various forms of folk beliefs existed in different places,while the so-called ＂integration＂ means that different nations in China generally agree to the consistent order of ＂Heaven,Earth,Emperor,Parents and Mentor＂ as their supreme faith.The formation of this feature has a number of reasons;and the forming way is mainly based on ethnic migration,Taoist religion,and thanksgiving worshiping and so on. The folk beliefs are set in the worship of land god and ancestor, and the five classes of ＂Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Mentor＂ also focus on ＂Earth （community）＂, and ＂Kinship （ancestors）＂ as the core, so the Chinese folk beliefs should be referred to as ＂social ancestral religion. ＂
