Abstract    This paper first makes an introduction to the US TV series The Vampire Diaries。 To some extent, the TV series arose my interest in studying the ghost culture。 Besides, when we talk about the “ghost”, there must be something different and splendid in China and in the west。 Ghost culture, which is a part of human civilization, we can never ignore or leave out of it。 In other words, to research the ghost culture, somehow, we can enrich the theory of human civilization。 As long as human beings appeared on the Earth, some kind of mysterious power just came after them, or, at least, our ancient ancestors thought so。 In the writer’s opinion, ghost culture runs through the whole human’s history, from ancient people to modern ones, from the ignorant to the knowledgeable。 People gradually get rid of ignorance and embrace science。 Besides, there is a saying: Fear comes from ignorance。 Therefore, nowadays, just because some people lack the knowledge of “ghost”, which result in the misunderstanding between superstitious and ghost culture。 However, the misunderstanding can be reduced after learning ghost culture。 What’s more, no matter what kind of culture we face, we should always insist the principle: Selecting the essence and discarding the dross。85806

摘要这篇论文首先由介绍美国连续剧《吸血鬼日记》展开。在某种程度上来说，《吸血鬼日记》也是此论文学者有意研究鬼文化的“导火索”。那么，当我们谈论到“鬼”时，中西方势必由有其各自不同而璀璨的文化值得探究了。鬼文化，作为人类文明的一部分，我们当学习之，研究之，而非忽视之，甚至于排斥之。换句话说，深入学习研究鬼文化，在某种程度上，我们也能丰富关于人类文明历史的理论哩。自打人类在地球上出现，人类文明的产生，某种神秘的力量也就伴之而来，至少，我们远古的祖先们是这么想的。笔者的观点是，鬼文化贯穿了整个人类历史，从远古人类到现代人类，从愚昧无知到知书达理。人们逐渐地摆脱了愚昧进而投入了科学的怀抱。然而，尽管现如今正是由于缺少关于鬼文化的了解，导致部分人对鬼文化与迷信的误解。无论我们面对的是何种文化，我们始终都应该坚持一个原则：去其糟粕，取其精华。源Q于W优H尔J论K文M网WwW.youeRw.com 原文+QQ75201.,8766
