乡绅以宫庙为依托的地方社会文化建设——以苍南县宜山镇许府宫为例

Country Gentry's Local Social and Cultural Construction Based on Temples——A Case Study of Xu Fu Temple in Yishan Town, Cangnan County

清末民初,中国社会正处在激烈的动荡和转型期。当时宜山陈氏父子以许府宫为场地和中心,开展各种社会活动,聚集了一大批文人乡绅广泛参与社会治理、文化教育及各种公共事务建设,使得以宜山为中心的江南垟地区在社会动乱的大背景下仍呈现一片稳定繁荣、文风昌盛的景象。同时,文人乡绅为后人留下了珍贵的物质与精神财富,并对今天的地方社会发展有着积极的引导和借鉴意义。

The period of later Qing dynasty and early Republic of China witnesses the turbulence and transformation of Chinese society. At that time, Chen＇s father and his son used Xu Fu Temple as the site and the center for various social activities where a large number of local intellectuals and gentry gathered to participate in social governance, cultural education and various public affairs, and this presented the region of Jiang Nan Yang surrounding Yishan town in a state of prosperity and stylistic vitality even in the larger context of social unrest. Meanwhile, local intellectuals and gentry leave behind precious material and spiritual wealth, and provide positive guidance and lessons for the current development of local society.
