略论清代至民国时期四川的天后信仰

A Brief Study of Belief in Goddess Tian Hou in Sichuan Province during the Qing Dynasty and the Republican Era

在现有研究成果的基础上,利用地方志和近年出版的文献资料,提出天后信仰传入四川的时间是在清初,流行于清中后期,主要依靠闽粤移民、商人、官员来传播,且与各类会馆结合紧密。内陆四川的天后信仰其功能转为侧重于农业神和作为移民联络乡谊的纽带。民间的儒家"道师"参与推动其传播,佛、道、儒三家都在其身上打上了印记。

On the basis of current research achievements,the authors make use of local records and materials published recently,therefore we make a conclusion that the belief in Goddess Tian Hou was taken into Sichuan Province mainly by Fujian and Guangdong provinces＇ immigrants,merchants and government officials at the Early Qing Dynasty,then was populated in all of the province at the middle and late Qing Dynasty.It was also closely linked with all kinds of guild halls.Goddess Tian Hou＇s functions had changed into agricultural goddess and making friendship among townspeople,who had immigrated into Sichuan Province.The belief in Goddess Tian Hou in Sichuan Province was influenced by the Buddhism,Taoism and Confucianism,there were some Non-governmental Confucian directors who promoted the development of the belief.
