东瓯王子晋神仙信仰初探——兼谈白鹤大帝信仰

A Preliminary Study on the Fairy Belief of Prince Jin in Eastern Ou:Also About the Belief on the Great Deity Baihe

王乔传说最早出现在南方,在被河洛王子晋传说取代多年以后,复归于越地,天台山遂为王子晋信仰的发祥地,并与台州白鹤大帝信仰融合为"鹤仙信仰",广泛流传于东瓯地区,衍化为多种信仰民俗,远及日本。

Wang Qiao legends originated in the South and returned to Yue area after being replaced by Heluo legends of Prince Jin for many years. Thus Mt. Tiantai became the birthplace of the belief of Prince Jin. It integrated with the religion of the Great Deity Baihe （crane）in Taizhou, developed to be ＂He Xian（Fairy-Crane） Belief＂and widely spread in East Ou area. It even derived a variety of folk beliefs and spread far to Japan.
