试析明清时期淄川宗族祭产管理

On The Management of The Property for The Worship That Belonged to A Patriarchal Clan in Zichuan during The Ming and Qing Periods

为了表达报本反始之恩,明清时期的淄川宗族积极对支撑祭祀的祭产予以管理。从祭产参与者与管理者模式来看,大多是以一族之中为官人员为核心而运作的,他们起到了沟通宗族成员、地方社会与各级官吏的重要作用。同时,围绕着祭产保护这一行为,宗族内部、同姓与异姓、宗族和地域社会乃至传教士发生了一系列冲突。

During the Ming and Qing periods the patriarchal clans in Zichuan attached much importance to the management to their own properties for the worships so as to repay what they owed to their forefathers.Judging from those who were engaged in the property administration and management mode,the majority of the clans chose the persons with official ranks from their own families as the central roles in the management and operation of the properties,who were more capable of communicating with the clan members,the local communities and the officials at all levels.A series of conflicts as to how the properties were preserved arose among the branches of clans,between the clan members who didn't have the same surname in common,clans and communities,clans and missionaries.
