海洋民间信仰的地方性实践与民俗学思考——兼论沿海地域研究的视角问题

On the Folklore and Local Practice of Ocean Popular Religion—— From the Perspective of Coastal Region Study

海洋民间信仰不但具有一般民间信仰所具有的共性,且具有其自身的独特性。从地方社会视野来看海洋民间信仰,会发现海洋民间信仰是一种沿海地区民众在海陆两栖生活中进行的一种兼具海洋与陆地特点的地方信仰,这种信仰与其生活融合在一起。将海洋纳入民俗学发展的考虑中,不断扩展民俗学的研究领域,既能发挥民俗学微观研究的特长,又能获得中观和宏观视野所带来的整体性。将海洋或海陆交会纳入研究的视野更使研究的视角从"中心-周边"扩展到"海陆交会",这对于更加全面深刻地进行沿海地域的研究具有重要意义。

The ocean popular religion not only has the general characteristics of the popular religion but also its pe- culiarity. Seen from the social perspective, it has been found that it belongs to a local religion, established by the local people and typical of their life at sea and on land and also well integrated into their life. Putting ocean into the development of folklore and expanding its research area folklore can make full use of the advantage of microcosmic study and get the wholeness of the medium and macrocosmic study. Putting the ocean and the intersection of land and sea into study enables its research to expand further from the center-vicinity to the intersection of land and sea, which is of greater significance to the overall and profound study of the coastal regions.
