从乡野到祀典:桂东南“寒山信仰”传播及合法化路径

From Rural to National Ritual Book:the Spreading of“Hanshan Belief” in Southeast Guangxi and its Legalization Path

寒山信仰盛行于玉林境内。尤其至清代寒山庙广泛兴建,由此形成了一个以寒山庙为中心的祭祀网络。光绪年间,为报寒山应雨之功,地方官不惜在奏折中否定"三圣传说"以迎合国家礼制,经二次上奏,最终使寒山神荣获敕封,并列入祀典。但有趣的是,"三圣传说"并未因此而中断,民间仍以三圣诞辰为期进行祭祀,而不是按照国家礼制。

＂Hanshan Belief＂ used to be very popular in Yulin area. In the Qing Dynasty, many Hanshan temples were built, and a network of sacrificial rituals conducted in Hanshan temples was therefore formed. In the Emperor Guangxu Period, to return the credit of Hanshan God for bringing rains to Yulin, local officials denied the ＂Three Sages Fable＂ to cater to the national ritual system. In the end, Hanshan God was bestowed by the emperor and written into the national ritual books. Interestingly, the ＂Three Sages Fable＂ was not abandoned by the local people, as they still set the date of their sacrificial activities according to the birthdays of three Sages, instead of the national ritual dates.
