Geleneksel Çin Dinlerinde Antropogoni-Soterioloji İlişkisi

Traditional Chinese religions, which are religions that were born and developed in the same geography and developed socially, politically and politically in the same region, are Taoism and Confucianism. Apart from these two religions, the existence of many religions and missionary activities have been observed in the historical process in China. However, religions that emerged in China can objectively reflect all the elements of the history of the intellectual and social religious life of the Chinese society. Before the traditional Chinese religions were institutionalized, the society had certain beliefs, and these beliefs later showed themselves as the basic principles in the narratives of Lao Tsu and Confucius. In Chinese religious life, in addition to respect for ancestors, worship of celestial and natural forces, prophecy and related beliefs,belief in a supreme being called Shang-ti draws attention. In this sense, especially the cult of ancestors exists as a common element in traditional Chinese religions and plays an important role in strengthening family and kinship relations in society. It is not possible to consider Chinese religions separately in terms of their societies and especially the state-people relationship. Because, in the basic emphasis of these religions, it is stated that social and political corruption can only be possible with the order between the universe and human beings, and those who succeed in this can achieve salvation. Lao Tsu and Confucius lived at the same time as the founders of religion, and were the subject of the same social and administrative problems. They emphasized that the people and state administrators have certain duties, associated with they have worked in state duties, and they emphasized that liberation should take place socially as well as individually. These salvation proposals are based on the understanding of Anthropogony, and it is stated that individual salvation is not possible without the realization of the teachings of salvation for society. This is not independent of Chinese anthropology. Our study, which we will examine in this context, consists of three main parts as “God, Cosmogony and Anthropogony in Traditional Chinese Religions”, “Soteriology in Chinese Religions” and “Evaluation And Conclusion”. It is expected that the study will draw attention to the deficiency in this sphere and lead to new scientific studies
