正统性、地方化与文化的创制──潮州民间神信仰的象征与历史意义

The Symbolic and Historical Significance of Popular Cults in Chaozhou

从秦朝开始，潮州地区就与整个岭南地区一起，归属中原王朝的政治“版图”。但是，王朝教化与地域社会之间的契合，却经历了长期复杂的互动过程。在这一过程中，宋元之际和明末清初的变化尤其具有重要的意义。三山国王和双忠公是在潮州乡村庙宇中最经常见到的两个神祗。这两个神明信仰的形成及其象征意义的转换，与潮州地区数百年来王朝教化与地域社会复杂互动的契合过程有着密切的关系。

Since the Qin Dynasty,Chaozhou and the whole Lingnan region had been under the administration of the Northern Dynasties of China. But the interation of the Dynasties' influences and the local societies was a long and complex interactive process. In this process changes in the Song & Yuan times and the end of the Ming and the start of the Qing are of important significance. The King of the Three Mountains and the God of Double Loyalty were the most popular gods in Chaozhou's rural temples. The making of the cults of the two gods and the changes of their symbolic meanning are closely related to the complex interactive integration of the Dynasties' influences and local societies.
