摘要

中国古代文学中的鬼神信仰与文学表现是一个具有深厚文化内涵的研究领域，其背景源于中国传统文化中对鬼神的敬畏与崇拜，这种信仰贯穿于古代社会的思想体系和文学创作之中。本研究旨在探讨鬼神信仰在中国古代文学中的具体表现形式及其文化意义，通过分析不同时期的文学作品，揭示鬼神形象如何反映社会心理、宗教观念及伦理道德。研究采用文本细读与比较分析相结合的方法，选取《楚辞》《搜神记》《聊斋志异》等经典文本为案例，从叙事结构、人物塑造及象征意义等方面进行深入剖析。结果表明，鬼神形象在文学作品中不仅是超自然力量的体现，更是作者情感表达和社会批判的重要媒介。此外，研究发现鬼神信仰对文学创作的影响呈现出动态变化特征，从早期的神秘主义到后期的人文关怀，体现了文学与信仰之间的互动关系。本研究的创新点在于将鬼神信仰置于文学表现的整体框架下考察，突破了以往单纯从宗教或民俗角度的研究局限，为理解中国古代文学提供了新的视角。主要贡献在于深化了对鬼神信仰文化内涵的认识，并为相关领域的进一步研究奠定了理论基础。

Abstract

The study of ghost and deity beliefs and their literary representations in ancient Chinese literature is a research field rich in cultural significance. Originating from the traditional Chinese reverence and worship of ghosts and deities, this belief system permeates the ideological fr amework and literary creation of ancient society. This research aims to explore the specific manifestations and cultural implications of ghost and deity beliefs in ancient Chinese literature by analyzing literary works from different periods. It reveals how images of ghosts and deities reflect social psychology, religious concepts, and ethical morals. Employing a method that combines close reading with comparative analysis, this study selects classic texts such as "Chu Ci," "Sou Shen Ji," and "Liao Zhai Zhi Yi" as case studies, examining narrative structures, character development, and symbolic meanings in depth. The findings indicate that ghost and deity images in literary works not only represent supernatural forces but also serve as significant media for authors' emotional ex pression and social critique. Additionally, the research uncovers that the influence of ghost and deity beliefs on literary creation exhibits dynamic characteristics, evolving from early mysticism to later humanistic concern, illustrating the interactive relationship between literature and belief. The innovation of this study lies in examining ghost and deity beliefs within the comprehensive fr amework of literary representation, transcending previous limitations of studying solely from religious or folkloric perspectives, thereby providing new insights into understanding ancient Chinese literature. Its primary contribution is deepening the recognition of the cultural connotations of ghost and deity beliefs and laying a theoretical foundation for further research in related fields.
