明清时期民间迎神赛会个案研究——《祝圣会会簿》及其反映的祝圣会

Case study of idolatrous processi on in Ming and Qing dynasty --Zhu Sheng Hui's accounting book and its implication to Zhu Sheng Hui

南京大学历史系资料室藏有五本祝圣会会簿。本文以这五本会簿为基础 ,对明清时期的迎神赛会进行个案研究。通过分析 ,本文认为明清时期宗族为了加强对其成员的控制 ,把原本依靠血缘维持的祭祀行为转换成以会的形式进行祭祀 ,从而使宗族的祭祀祖先的行为变得更加规范。同时 ,宗族充分利用了徽州特有的地方信仰 ,通过祭祀不仅加强了宗族自身的凝聚力 ,还把这种凝聚扩散到整个徽州。

The re are five accounting books of Zhu Shen g Hui in history department of Nanjing U niversity.This paper,based on these five accounting books,employs the method of study to gain preliminary understanding of the idolatrous procession in Ming and Qing dynasty.The pape pointed out that in Ming and Qing dynasty,the patriarchal clans created a new way to make sacrifi ce to ancestors more formal than ever.Th is way was to turn the form of sacrifice to ancestors from congsanguinity to Hui ,and controlled their members more tight ly.At the same time,the unique local bel ief in Huizhou was used to strengthen th eir members' cohesiveness.By sacrificing to ancestors,the clans spread members' cohesiveness to all Huizhou area.
