HAN Yu＇s faith in ghosts：centering on enshrining god in Chaozhou

贬潮后,韩愈思想与信仰世界中的鬼神观念日益凸显。韩愈在潮州频繁的祀神活动不仅是尊重地方文化的表现,也是他以后推行儒家意识形态的必要前提。《鳄鱼文》集中表现出韩愈宣扬国家意识形态的立场。鬼神信仰在韩愈晚年的思想世界中不可或缺,它既是佐成儒家思想实现统治的有效手段,又是延续儒教在人民信仰世界的监督系统。在儒家思想力量遭受打击之时,鬼神信仰又能暂时补救个人信仰空间的失落。鬼神信仰的生成离不开韩愈儒墨并用的思想意识。HAN Yu had an evident faith in ghost after he was relegated to Chaozhou. In Chaozhou, HAN Yu enshrined god several times, which not only respected local culture,but also would be a base to advertise Confucian thought. The t arti- cle of crocodile was full of Confucian thought. In HAN Yu＇s old age,the faith of ghosts was important, because it not only was the effective tool to realize the control of Confucianism, but also the system to supervise and hold the status of Confu- cianism in people＇s thought. The faith of ghosts could comfort HAN Yu＇s soul when he was relegated. The thought that Mohism and Confucianism mutually complement each other was the base of the faith of ghosts.041-92
