?!薄稌x祠志》載:“三晉之勝,以晉陽為最;而晉陽之勝,全在晉祠。祠祀的形成早在原始社會時期人類與自然同處于一種既隔絕對立又渾然一體的矛盾狀態(tài),又因其文明的低下而無法窺探自然界的奧秘。對于原始人類來說自然不僅有生命,而且是巨大而神秘的,對人具有不可抗拒的威力和魅力,“精神在物質(zhì)重量下感到壓抑,而壓抑之感正是崇拜的起點。當人們把動植物中個別的崇拜對象當做本族的祖先或與本族祖先有血緣關(guān)系或本族生活有根本的關(guān)聯(lián)成了其保護神的時候,又以想象重構(gòu)這一崇拜對象,并當作本族的名稱標志時,就出現(xiàn)了圖騰崇拜。人們用美妙的傳說創(chuàng)造了日月星辰、山川河海諸神并賦于他們超人的能力和形象?!白嫦瘸绨菔菑娜藗冎匾暩赶祩髯诮哟_始的,陶祖和石祖的出現(xiàn)標志著圖騰崇拜的衰落和祖先崇拜的興起。晉祠是奉祀晉國首任諸侯唐叔虞的祠宇,曾名唐叔虞祠、晉王祠。?今在縣之西南。其川上溯,后人踵其遺跡,蓄以為沼,沼西際山枕水,有唐叔虞祠。至有淫朋密友,羈游宦子,莫不尋梁集契,用相娛慰,于晉川之中最為勝處。定晉陽為別都,并在天保年間在晉祠大起樓觀,穿筑池塘。唐太宗李世民于貞觀廿年(公元646年)故地重游,親撰《晉祠之銘并序》大碑一通。重建了魚沼飛梁,祠區(qū)布局,大為改觀。金大定八年,更在飛梁大東,增建獻殿,專為圣母子貢獻祭品。接著又在會仙橋的東面,重修了華麗的水鏡臺供演戲之用。于是晉祠又成了人們舉行地雩祭的重要場所。秦漢時好神仙、尚方術(shù)之風(fēng)興盛,人們對前代神祗作了一番整理,建立了祭禮制度,并設(shè)置了大量的神祗,將多神崇拜的方式固定下來,吸引了許多民間信仰擴充了祭祀的范圍,增加了祭祀的對象,豐富了祭祀的儀式。于是乎晉祠以祖先、山川崇拜為主,儒、釋、道及民間諸神為輔的完善的祭祀場所逐漸形成。獻殿、殿身三間,歇山頂、四周無墻,當心間前后辟門,其余各間,在堅厚的檻墻上安叉子,形如一座涼亭,靈巧而豪放。魚沼飛梁在圣母殿與獻殿之間,古人圓者為池,方者為沼,沼中多魚,故曰:“魚沼”;其上立架十字形橋,“架虛為橋,若飛也。東西橋面寬闊,為通往圣母殿的要道,而南北橋面,下斜如鳥之兩翼,翩翩欲飛;邊綴勾欄,憑欄賞景,益增詩情畫意?!边M而考其功能更似一四通之祭壇。在甲、乙日做一條八丈長的大青龍,置放中央,做七條四丈長的小青龍,面向東方,相隔八尺陳列車員。儀式開始,鼓樂喧天,兒童與田嗇瘋狂起舞,然后由一近迷狂狀態(tài)的伶牙俐齒的巫祝,口念祭詞,手舞足啃以請雨……。從“飛龍在天,利見大人”的卦辭到靈星祭雩祭,從默默無聲的神秘卦象到震耳欲聾的祭禮鼓聲,哪個不圍繞這個母題?這母題具有神奇的生命力,它沒有終止于漢代的祭祀,反而在民間穩(wěn)固地生要發(fā)芽、開花結(jié)果,演成至今不衰的民俗文化形式、龍舞龍燈、龍戲珠……在當年雩祭的青龍舞,早已種下龍舞龍燈與大型龍舞的原型因子;那手舞足蹈的僮子就是后來的手執(zhí)波珠的領(lǐng)舞者,那強悍的男嗇夫就是后來的舞龍人……水鏡臺規(guī)模壯觀,臺上東部為重檐歇山頂,演戲時用為后幕,臺上西部為卷棚歇山頂,面向圣母殿,三面開敞,演戲時為前臺,臺下埋大甕八口,為擴音之用。由于古代人民生活困苦,終年辛勞,僅得一飽,閑暇有限,為了調(diào)劑生活,每每借祭祀的機會鼓舞歡慶。唐叔虞 rouses himself for vigorous efforts to make the county ’s more , he took advantage of the river 晉水to build water conservancy works for agriculture and developed the agriculture that the mon people of this little country lives a happy and rich this situation has last800 order to thanks to him and remember him forever, the local people established the hall for him in this beautiful his son 燮父 inherited his position when he passed away and changed the name of this country 唐 to 晉for there is a river 晉水 in this the name of this ancestral hall also was changed to 晉王祠,called 晉祠 for short and the abbreviation of山西province also e from here..While ,now the ancestral hall 晉祠bee a very famous place for travel and is the one of the national protection unit of key cultural relics in the honor of the travel agent of china through rebuilding by many ,the popular place for sightseeing, the Chinese classic garden, is extremely famous for his grand group of building and his superb technique of mould statue, which possess decades of ancient are three lines to look around this middle line, that is the one of the most apparent distinguishing feature of Chinese with the 水鏡臺 after through the gate and end up with the palace could visit the bridge 會仙橋,the金人臺 ,the palace獻殿 ,the building鐘鼓樓,the bridge魚沼飛梁 ,and the palace圣母殿in proper order along with the middle this line is the main body of 晉祠 which has the wellknit building structure, and reflect extremely high value of hat’s more, there are also many points of scenery in north line and the south line we will meet and I will introduce them to you in greater detail , everybody, have seen statues of iron person?
