北宋名儒刘棠的祖先、神明及子孙

The Ancestors,Gods and Descendants of Liu Tang

刘棠是北宋漳州龙溪人,元祐进士,获朱熹称道。围绕刘棠的谱系建构,运用历史人类学研究方法,深入考察其建构过程及其原因。从中发现,南宋后期,龙岩出现刘弼、刘棠父子进士的说法。九龙江北溪流域民间信仰三翁,在明代中期获得合法身份,康熙中叶又成为刘棠宗族的祖先与保护神。清代中期,龙溪县二十五都宜招保大寨刘氏宗族为发展需要,放弃此前成为明代卫所军户时追溯的祖先漳州刺史留从愿,改认刘棠为祖先、信仰三翁。刘棠的谱系建构,反映区域社会的历史变迁,就其产生的历史作用来看是无所谓真伪。
