中国大运河沿岸天妃信仰及其遗迹调查

The Tianfei Belief and the Survey of Tianfei Ruins along the Grand Canal

天妃信仰是自宋代以来我国沿江沿海广大民众普遍尊崇的民俗信仰和精神追求。中国大运河是世界上开凿时间最早、流域范围最大的一条人工水系,尤其是京杭大运河的开通延伸了天妃信仰的传播。通过对古籍文献的梳理和实地调查,大运河沿岸遗存有众多天妃信仰的庙宇和以"天妃"命名的运河闸坝水工设施,是大运河文化遗产价值的有机组成部分。

Tianfei belief is a system of folk belief and spiritual pursuit, widespread in coastal areas of China, since the Song Dynasty. China＇s Grand Canal promotes the dissemination of the Tianfei faith in hinterland areas. With the analysis of archives and on-site survey, it is evident that a large number of Tianfei temples and canal facilities named after Tianfei are distributed along the canal. The heritage sites are an integral part of the value of the Grand Canal.
