天长地震是一场发生于公元830年(天长七年)1月3日清晨的强烈地震,震中位于秋田城东北约5公里处。 地震瞬间,城池的防御工事崩塌,城内建筑纷纷倒塌,造成了人员伤亡。灾害波及了流经城池附近的雄物川,以及旭川和太平川的上游流域。此外,附近的勝平山也受到影响,山脚下的聚落遭到了彻底的破坏。这场浩劫发生时,正值大雪纷飞之际。 尽管天长地震距今已过去约1200年,但它在诸多方面依然对当地民众的生活与文化产生着深远的影响。 该系列节目呈现了“世界故事遗产”的中文版,并探讨了地震后的状况;其中特别以“石山”这一圣地作为故事背景。 733 秋田城 世界地图上的位置 位于出羽省 秋田城 现代模型 2011 世界物語遺産 世界故事遗产 在天长地震发生约一千二百年后,秋田城遗址附近的勝平山(Mount Katsuhira)山脚下流传着一个故事。2011年,这个故事被制作成绘本,题为《从海里捞上来的饭团地藏》(Omusubi Jizō-san, Pulled out of the Sea)。该绘本是由小学生制作的,旨在将其作为世界故事遗产传承下去。 接下来,我将介绍这个故事的中文版本。 世界物語遺産 「海から上がったおむすび地蔵さん」 世界故事遗产 《一尊从海中打捞上来的饭团状民间神像》 “Omusubi”(饭团)的另一层含义 饭团(Omusubi)不仅是维系我们生命的食物,更蕴含着另一层深意:“Musubi”一词象征着新事物的诞生——即某种此前并不存在的事物的产生。 在日本古代文化中,“生命”这一概念被称为 *hi*;在汉字书写中,它由代表“灵”的汉字(霊)来表征,并表达为 *musuhi*(产灵)。换言之,*musubi* 也蕴含着新的灵——即生命——诞生之意。 当那位老妇人向地藏菩萨像供奉饭团时,纯粹是因为她在潜意识里将那尊石像视为有灵性的生命体。将万物视为有生命的存在——透过这一视角,我们得以窥见日本文化的丰富内涵。 关于勝平(Shōhei)寺流传着这样一个故事,那真是一个美妙的民间传说。顺带一提,那位老妇人梦中出现的“妹妹”地藏,正是伫立于石山圣地的延命地藏。简而言之,延命地藏便是这个故事的主角。 这位地藏将伴随着这个故事,永远活在人们心中。 延命地藏 延命地藏被尊为儿童的守护神,其形象小巧可爱,左手持如意宝珠,右手握驱邪锡杖。 菩萨像头戴红色兜帽,身披红色围兜,象征着抵御邪恶,寓意孩童健康成长。 … Continue reading 天長地震後1200年(6)世界物語遺産(中文版)
