摘要
唐代是道教史上的兴盛发展时期,也是道教从民间宗教跃升为国家宗教,并对唐代社会产生影响的重要时期。史籍道经中有关唐代国家行用道教投龙的记载,是道教仪式已上升为国家祭祀大典的有力说明。唐代帝王热衷于投龙是崇信道教所致,投龙仪式更反映出唐代社会政治生活中的崇道风尚。从道教经法制度的相关论述可以看出,投龙仪式具有宗教功能及其象征意义。
The Tang Dynasty was an important age when Taoism became prosperous in history and rose from a folk church to state church and when it exerted great influence on the Tang society. The Book of Taoism, a historical classic, kept a record of the official Taoist sin- exempting incantation casting ceremony in the Tang Dynasty, which was an indication of a Taoist ceremony upgraded to a grand official ceremony of sacrifice offering. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty craved after sin- exempting incantation casting because of their conversion to Taoism and because of the atmosphere of worshiping Taoism in political life of the Tang society. According to Taoist institutions and sutras, the sin- exempting incantation casting ceremony is of religious function and symbolic significance.
