臺灣節慶的轉型與現代意涵：享樂主義的觀點

節慶在世代變遷中無所不在，深刻地烙印人類的歷史軌跡。但隨著時空背景的轉換，傳統節慶的熱鬧依舊，但其中的意涵卻逐漸枯萎，以享樂為主要目的節慶活動在士民的日常生活中大量出現，在傳統的人倫道德與追求個人慾望之間的內心拔河，也導致了節慶的變型與變異。因此本研究的目的乃是藉由重新論述此種新舊節慶定義轉變的衝突，以伊壁鳩魯學派有關享樂主義的理論為切入點，藉著比對傳統與現代節慶的型式，探討節慶與慶典活動在現代社會中的主流核心，並申明享樂與休閒的相互關係。研究結果發現享樂的因子一直根植在節慶之中，更與休閒有著密不可分的關係，但基於不同的世代背景，節慶的形式與意涵正不斷的受到重組與創新。

Yet, as time goes by, the meaning of festivals swings between traditional morality and social demand of entertainment, and has been gradually transformed to hedonistic events. This study applies Hedonism from ancient Greek Epicurus as the theoretic core to compare traditional and modern forms of festivals. It discloses the concept of hedonism, and interpret the relationship among hedonism, leisure, and modern festivals. According to literatures, the idea of hedonism always exists, but confronts continuing reorganization and recreation resulted from different generation engagements.
