英文摘要 | The ritual sacrifice of early Chou culture, as described in the (later) Kuo Yu and Tso Chuan, has a mainly sociopolitical function. The ritual’s performance keeps “everyone in his/her proper place” in the social (or human-and-spirit) hierarchy: the enactment of the sacrifice is a demonstration of the power (or power-wealth) of the one performing it-his power over the victim, the spirits, the human spectators-and is also closely tied to the praxis of “regulating the people’s (and spirits’) chaotic desires.” I try to analyze this praxis by turning to Girard’s scapegoat theory of ritual sacrifice: “social violence” is released via the spectators’ identification with the victim. In particular I suggest a parallel between Girard’s notion of the “sacrificial crisis” which occurs when the necessary distance between spectators and victim is lost (leading to the uncontrollable outbreak of war) and the Chou notion of a state of luan te (chaotic or overflowing virtue-power-desire) which will occur if proper “distance” is not maintained between min-people and shen-spirits. I try to draw some tentative conclusions regarding ancient Greek and Chinese ideas about (human and social) order and chaos, (original) nondifferentiation and (original) difference. |
