摘要

神聖空間的體驗，兼具信仰與美學雙重意義。神聖空間的審美對象，可以分為宗教性的神聖空間和人文性的神聖空間兩種類型。其審美活動主要關注兩個層面，一是被信仰活動投射神聖力量的各種顯聖物（包括宗教藝術品）；二是發生在神聖空間中的信仰活動本身，如神聖敘事、符號象徵與儀式等等。敬畏，是神聖空間審美的精神前提。本質上，神聖空間的審美是一種特殊的精神審美，它通過密契靜觀或儀式參與，實現心靈的信仰淨化與超越，得以窺見崇高而永恆的精神美學秘境。

The experience of sacred space includes two dimensions of significance, beliefs and aesthetics. The aesthetic objects of sacred space can be classified as two types, religious and humanist. Its aesthetic activities mainly focus on two aspects, one is all sorts of hierophany which are endowed with supernatural power by beliefs; the other is the activities of belief that happened in sacred space, such as holy narrative, symbols and rituals. Awe is an important spiritual precondition for the aesthetic perception of sacred space. Essentially, the aesthetic perception of sacred space is a specially spiritual sensation, which achieves the spiritual transcendence and purification through mysterious viewing and meditation or ritual participation, and finally help people to have a glance at the sublime and eternal world of spiritual aesthetics.
