一九二九年宿迁小刀会暴动与极乐庵庙产纠纷案

The Uprising of the Small Sword Society of Suqian in 1929 and the Dispute over the Jile Temple Property

1929年2月13日,宿迁县小刀会突然"暴动",砸毁国民党党部和学校,绑走党员和教职员,持续三日之久。这次"暴动"与同年3、4月发生的另两起刀会"暴动"被描绘为旨在反对南京国民政府所推行的社会政治改革。与事件无关的极乐庵之所以成为主角,与宿迁国民党党部"庙产兴学"的政治意图不无关系。小刀会事件引发的极乐庵庙产纠纷案,是地方社会对南京国民政府推行"庙产兴学"、"反迷信运动"的因应。

On 13th February,1929,the Small Sword Society(小刀会Xiǎo Dāo Huì) in Suqian County suddenly rose up,smashing schools and the Kuomintang Party office and kidnapping the teachers and Party members.This lasted a full three days.This uprising,along with two others in March and April of the same year,has been described as a fight against the social and political reforms promoted by the Nationalist Government at Nanjing.The Jile Temple originally had nothing to do with the rising,but ended up as the main player.The reason for this was that the Suqian Kuomintang office had the political intention of using the property of the temple to set up schools.The uprising caused by the dispute over Jile Temple was a reaction on the part of the local populace to the campaign for 'Using Temple Property to Set up Schools'and the 'Anti-superstition Movement'promoted by the Nationalist Government at Nanjing.
