妈祖信仰与闽南民间社会整合——以漳浦旧镇为视角

The Integration of Mazu Belief and Minnan Folk Society——From the Perspective of Jiu Town, Zhangpu County

闽南千年古镇旧镇有三座妈祖庙,保存数方石碑和崖刻。通过考察漳浦当地的妈祖信仰习俗,解读文物、文献资料,对理解明清时期闽南的乡村治理可得到若干新的启示。明中后期,妈祖的神职扩展,成为乡民聚集人心的精神纽带,妈祖信仰成为不同姓氏的乡民自我管理、自我教化的有力推手。妈祖庙成为乡规民约的发布地、道德教化的核心区,平息和调解民事纠纷的裁决所。

There are three Mazu temples in Jiu Town, Zhangpu County, in which several stone tablets and carvings on cliff can be found. Alter investigating the local custom of Mazu belief in Zhangpu County and interpreting the cultural relics and literature, the paper shows some new revelation of understanding Minnan rural governance in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Middle and Late Ming Dynasty, the clerical function of Mazu extended and became the spiritual bond of the villagers. Mazu belief became a powerful driving force for the self-management, self-education of villagers from different families. Mazu temple was then the place where local rules were issued, moral education was done and mediations of civil disputes were carried out.
