  • 位牌(いはい)とは、死者の祭祀のため、死者の戒名などを記した木の板をいう。 中国の後漢時代から儒教の葬礼に用いられる神主(しんしゅ。死者の官位・姓名を書く霊牌。)と同視されたため、「位」牌と呼ばれる。またその起源は、霊の依代(よりしろ)という古来の習俗と仏教の卒塔婆が習合した物ともされる。日本には禅宗と共に鎌倉時代に伝来し、江戸時代に一般化した。
  • 牌位,又稱「神主」、「神主牌」、「神位」等。是將神明、祖先名號書寫或雕刻在木板、金屬板、紙板、絹帛、牆壁等物體上,象徵神明或祖先,並加以祭祀。如儒林外史:「虞華軒進去拜了叔祖母的神主。」 在佛教傳入中國之前,中國人並無輪迴轉世的觀念,當時普遍認為人死後的魂魄需要依附在實物上,故對神主與宗法十分重視,因為有男子繼承人,才有後繼之香火,延續對祖先的祭祀。 神位可裝置於小圍閣內,稱為「神龕」。供奉祖宗牌位的圍閣通常稱為「神龕」,也可以用專門的所謂「祖龕」。
