从闽地王天君传说看道教神祇的本地化

Research on Taoist gods' localization——taking the legends of Fujian local god Wang Tianjun as an example

在福建民间信奉的神祇中,有相当数量是外来的制度化宗教的神祇。这些神祇随移民入闽后,在发展的过程中逐渐实现了本地化(亦称在地化)。通过考察道教神祇王天君(王灵官)在闽地传说的变异和功能的拓展,论证神祇本地化的重要表现,是信民为神祇编造其与闽地、闽人相关的传说内容。

Among Fujian folk belief in gods,there are a lot of institutionalized alien gods. With the immigrants of these gods to Fujian,the localization was gradually realized in the course of development. By examining the Taoist gods of Wang Tianjun's( Wang Lingguan) expanding legends variation and function in Fujian,it can demonstrate significant performance of localization of gods. This is what Fujian people believed to make up their gods and legends content in Fujian.
