安徽农村地区存在传统宗教文化发展不平衡问题,这与各地经济发展、政府支持、文化背景有关,也反映了村民对于传统文化认知的地域差异。宗族文化作为儒教文化的核心内容,在宗族活动方面存在较大的南北差异性。在佛教文化传播方面,各地市佛教界非常活跃,而农村佛教显现出草根性、弥散性特征,村民的性别、年龄、文化程度、职业等与佛教“复兴”程度有着一定的关联性。安徽道教主要以制度化宗教形式流行,在农村社会并不普及。庙会源于民间信神活动,现在其宗教色彩已经淡化,但仍可作为村民信神活动的重要载体,皖北的庙会活动明显少于皖中和皖南。目前,国家力量对传承优秀传统文化的重视,为农村传统宗教文化发展提供了良好的契机。
Imbalances exist in the development of traditional religious cultures among rural areas in Anhui,which relates to regional economy,government support and cultural background,and also reflects regional differences in the perception of traditional cultures on the part of villagers. Clan culture as a core aspect of Confucian culture exhibits significant north-south differences in terms of clan activities. As for the spread of Buddhist culture,urban Buddhism is quite active,while rural Buddhism is characterized by its grassroots and diffusive nature,with the gender,age,education,profession and other profiles of villagers somehow correlated with the rejuvenation of Buddhism. Daoism in Anhui spreads itself mainly in the form of an institutionalized religion,and remains unpopular in rural societies. Temple festivals originated from folk God worship,and have lost religious significance,but can still be considered as an important medium for villagers to worship gods,which is significantly less popular in North Anhui as compared with Central Anhui and South Anhui. Currently,state forces are paying great attention to the inheritance of excellent traditional cultures,which provides a good opportunity to develop traditional religious culture in rural areas.
