九歌中的上帝與自然神

THE SUPREME BEING AND THE NATURAL GODS IN THE NINE SONGS

探討九歌諸問題的文章，自漢以來，已不知有多少了。其大致情形，我在九歌中河伯之研究一文中已約略提及，當時我只認為它是一種可以配樂並伴舞的曲子，現在這個觀念並沒有改變，但對於前人的一些解釋卻有某些不同的看法。

Since the Han dynasty quite a number of scholars have discussed various questions regarding the ”Nine Songs”, such as their religion，construction，and characteristics. This paper，however，is devoted only to the study of the Supreme Being and the Natural Gods of the Nine Songs.
