伏虎禅师信仰文化传播效应现象分析

An Analysis of the Spreading Effect of Buddhist Master Fu Hu's Belief Culture

伏虎禅师信仰文化发源于宁化、长汀,后传至沙溪、汀江和赣江流域,具有庞大的信仰圈和为数众多的信众,闽西客家区尤其突出。从闽西及古代南剑州的伏虎禅师信仰圈中不难发现,伏虎禅师具有独特的传播基本动力要素:神异传说、利民保物、崇高人格、政府封赐和民众崇信等,这些要素直接影响了他的传播;这种传播现象具体体现在传播效应上,对此分析起来有四种现象,即文化从众效应现象、文化传染效应现象、文化合作效应现象和政治意识形态渗透效应现象等。

The belief culture of Buddhist Master Fu Hu (literally meaning capturing the tiger), which originated in Ninghua and Changting Counties, spread to Shaxi, Tingjiang and Ganjiang valleys later. It has a huge belief circle and a large number of believers, especially in the Hakka area of the west of Fujian Province. From the belief circle of Fu Hu in the west of Fujian and the ancient Nanjianzhou, we can easily find that he has unique factors to influence the spreading: myth and legend, benefit to the people and preservation of things, lofty personality, government bestowal and people’s worship. This phenomenon is embodied in the communication effects with four aspects, namely, cultural conformity effect, cultural transmission, cultural cooperation and infiltration of political ideology.
