摘要
深圳民间宗教和港台、特别是香港道教的情况比较相近,其实质是具有深圳特色的民间宗教信仰。其信众和神谱的构成比较复杂,明显吸收了其他宗教的因素。民间宗教信仰没有明显的宗教活动中心、地域和核心人物,甚至没有专门的神职人员,缺乏合法的宗教活动场所,一般是在文物保护单位等名目保护下的经过翻新了的旧寺庙进行宗教活动,由流动的和尚、道士或外来人员管理日常活动,祭祀大量用纸钱等物,人神之间交换的经济成分很浓。香火钱和捐款是主要的经济来源,寺庙的所有者是村委会。深圳民间宗教信仰的健康发展,需要专门的道教寺庙和有较高道教理论水平和影响力的神职人员进行整合。
Entwined with local beliefs,folk religion in Shenzhen has a complicated genealogy.Similar cases can be fond in Hong Kong and Taiwan.A good example is the Taoist religion in Hong Kong.Elements of other religions are evidently present in the belief system of folk religion in Shenzhen;there is no full time priest to preside over the rituals;religious activities are mostly carried out in old temples renovated as cultural relics by relic preservation institutions.Very few of these temples have been legally registered as religious sites.Daily practice is usually administered by visiting monks of various religions,mainly Buddhism or Taoism.A large amount of spirit money and other offerings are used in the sacrificial rituals.Economic activities are obviously involved in this religious process.The ownership of these temples belongs to village committees.It is mainly funded by donations or income from selling incense.For folk religion to grow healthily in Shenzhen,influential priests with high level of knowledge in Taoism should work together in administering the religious activities in legally registered Taoist temples.
