术语“公众巫术”的详细信息

英译术语:

public magic

汉语语境:

巫术在远古时代是人们生活的核心。而汉字是先民以概念的形式和理性的认识对自然现象、社会现象的分析和概括。因此，采用逻辑分析的方法，对“鬼”“﹑巫”“﹑修”“、姅”等相关汉字初形、语义场进行分析，有助于考察原始巫术的源头，追踪其流变历史，探析其形式背后的规律。从中可以发现，尽管巫术的实质是一种错误联系，但“公众巫术”在历史发展中起到了一定的积极作用。对巫术特别是公众巫术应进行辩证的认识。

英语语境:

our ancestors identified and understood the natural and social phenomena by the Chinese character in a rational and conceptual way. Magic was a popular practice in ancient times. By logically analyzing the original forms and semantic fields of certain Chinese characters related to magic, we could easily find the primary source of magic, trace its changing history and study the regular patterns behind it. We believe that the essence of the magic is one kind of wrong relation, but the public magic has indeed played a certain positive role in history. So we need to treat magic in a dialectical way.
