明代开封城宗教场所分布及变化原因探析

The Research on the Distributions and Changes of Religious Venues in the Ming Kaifeng City

结合考古成果和传世文献,使用地理信息技术,可以绘制出较为清晰的明代开封城宗教场所分布图,通过分布图对比明代中晚期宗教场所的变化,可以发现明代开封出现了佛教场所减少、道教场所和民间信仰场所增加等现象。明代市民社会的发展、开封周藩群体的意志与朝廷宗教政策的指导实施,是造成这一现象的主要原因。

With the combination of archaeological results and handed-down documents, meanwhile using geographic information technology, a map of temples in the Ming Kaifeng city can be drawn relatively clearly. By comparing the changes of different kinds of temples in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it can be found that the quantity of Buddhist temples had decreased, however, Taoist and folk belief shrines had increased in the Ming Kaifeng city. The development of civil society in Ming Dynasty, the will of vassal state of Zhou in Kaifeng, the guidance and implementation of the government′s religious policy were the main causes for this phenomenon.
