| 摘要: | 除夕什麼時候祭祖？大年初一哪個時辰開門祭拜神明？走春要先往哪個方向是大吉大利？年後哪一天是開市吉日吉時？《黃曆》是中國民間信仰與傳統禮俗，最密切的生活寶典。《黃曆》是我中華民族祖先，數千年的古人積累之智慧及無數的經驗結合而成的曆法。不是一個人的智慧及能力所能完成的。歷經數千年的反覆應用修正，使得我們的民族能生生不息、代代相傳。這部曆法是有系統的來教導後代子孫，去了解萬物之消長生滅、命運吉凶、事業順遂、財源通路乃至君王統治大業等，都仰賴之重要指南書。 本論文的研究主軸，是探討《黃曆》在於「民間信仰」的影響力，做一個研究探索。為何《黃曆》在歷史的洪流中不為時代所淘汰？為何在社會輿論及大多數人，仍認為是迷信的論述中卻仍然廣為流傳？本論文的研究聚焦在《黃曆》如何應用於現實生活之中。將《黃曆》及「民間信仰」之關係和影響，於第四章做分析探討。在第五章的研究問題將人生主要的三部曲出生、結婚、死亡，各分一節詳加探討將其作結論。另，《黃曆》和風水學兩者的關係就猶如針和線是相輔相成的。《黃曆》和「民間信仰」都是為滿足心理慰藉，也顯示出人類對生命中徬徨無助的現象。所謂「天時、地利、人和」，擇日之行為即是要讓主導者能有效的運用時間產生最高的效能，擇日是為趨吉避凶而做。 本文亦從探討《黃曆》與擇日之關係等。藉用《黃曆》中所提的內容為依據，解釋擇日行為將「年、月、日、時」，轉換為天干地支的吉凶作為工具加以操作，以達成某種目的之意義。說明擇日的歷史源由，相關內容包括擇日事項、神煞系統的建立、擇日通書之文化的介紹，擇日通書中擇日名詞作解釋。
What's the right time to worship our ancestors at Chinese New Year's Eve? What's the best time to open the door to hold ceremony to worship our Gods on New Year's Day? Which direction is leading to a lucky and prosperous futureon new-year-greeting each year? When is the best time to reopen business after New Year holidays, which shall lead to success? ＂Lunar Calendar＂ provides the key references for Chinese religion, belief, and tradition practice in daily life. ＂Lunar Calendar＂ is the accumulation of the wisdoms and experiences of the Chinese ancestors over thousands of years, which cannot be possibly accomplished by any individual's intelligence and efforts. Revised repeatedly over thousands of years, the ＂Lunar Calendar＂ is passed on generation after generation, which has shaped the Chinese culture and made it richer, and will last for years to come.The＂LunaCalendar＂ provides a systematic algorithm, teaching offspring how Nature and Universe works. From fortune telling, business or financial management to the Emperor ruling, the Lunar Calendar is an important resource and guidance to Chinese people. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of ＂Lunar Calendar＂ on beliefs of Chinese people. Why can it last for thousands of years in Chinese history?Why has it still been broadly disseminated and used among people in spite of public opinion that the ＂Lunar Calendar＂ is simply a superstition? This study is focusing on how to apply ＂Lunar Calendar＂ in people’s real life. The ＂LunarCalendar＂ and ＂Folk Beliefs＂ will be discussed in Chapter 4. In Chapter 5, the three important stages of life, birth, marriage, and death, will be discussed in details respectively and conclusion will be drawn afterwards. In addition, it is believed that the ＂Lunar Calendar＂ and ＂Feng Shui＂ are like needle and thread, being complementary. Both ＂Lunar Calendar＂ and ＂Folk Beliefs＂ provide basic needs to comfort and caress the helpless souls on the course of life. The so called Chinese philosophy, ＂Good Timing, Beneficial Topography, Harmonious Relationship＂, is to guide people effectively managing time, staying away from bad lucks, and advancing to good fortune. At last, this study also puts effort on discussion of the connection between ＂Lunar Calendar＂ and ＂Good Timing＂. In order to properly explain the behaviors and rationales behind picking the ＂Good Timing＂ based on ＂Lunar Calendar＂ for daily events, the ＂Year, Month, Day, Hour＂ of ＂Good Timing＂ is converted to Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. The historical origins of the practice, including related topics and events requiring picking ＂Good Timing＂, Gods-Evils system, and the cultural background regarding “Guidelines to Good Timing” are reviewed. |
