In ancient times, people could not explain a great number of natural occurrences and their causes, always feeling they were too mysterious to understand, that people imagined that between the heaven and the earth there were supernatural beings, who created everything and dominated the heaven and earth. Every time they were confronted by natural disasters such as earthquakes, strong winds, heavy storms, inundating floods, ravaging beasts and fires, people would think that these deities were angry, and thus would grow very frightened. Then at times of propitious winds and rains, as well as abundant harvests of all food crops, people would think the gods were blessing them. In a word, out of awe, gratitude and admiration, people would offer a variety of sacrifices to these deities, praying for their protection and blessing. The worship of deities became rituals to demonstrate people's respect and gratitude to various deities and to pray for their protection.

笔者生在北京，长在北京，半个多世纪过去了，大约算得上是个地道的“老北京”。北京城里使人难以忘怀的是什么呢？就是那大大小小的、在南方被叫做街巷的胡同。每当我从外地特别是从外国出差归来的时候，急于想见到的使是那一条条古朴的、幽雅的、熟悉的、亲切的胡同。或者说，只有见到了这些胡同才能算是回到了北京，回到了家。胡同与家分不开，北京与胡同分不开。一定意义上说，胡同就是北京的魂。
