融合与构建:妈祖海外传播的多维文化力因素

Integration and Construction:Multidimensional Cultural Factors of Mazu's Overseas Communication

妈祖文化源远流长,不仅在我国有着巨大的影响力,且藉由"妈祖文化圈"的巨大辐射力而远播海外。在此过程中,分布在世界各地的无数座天后宫成为妈祖信仰"实体化"的主要表现。而藉由构建于此基础上的文化认同,妈祖对海外地域文化的发展与转变过程产生了潜移默化的影响,并以多元、多维度的文化力因素体现。在政治上,协助构建和稳定海海洋东亚体系;在经济上则为贸易双方提供了难能可贵的互信互助空间;在文化上,积极输出中华文化的普适性,追寻中西文化的内在统一。可以说,妈祖文化不仅在促进构建以妈祖文化为核心的海上丝绸之路沿岸国家民族感情联系与价值认同机制的建立,且在获得海上丝绸之路沿岸国家民众的认同与支持方面有着不可替代的积极影响。

Mazu culture has a long history,not only has great influence in our country,but also spreads abroad through the great radiation of"Mazu cultural circle".In this process,numerous Tianhou Palaces distributed around the world have become the main manifestation of the"materialization"of Mazu belief.Based on this,Mazu has exerted a subtle influence on the development and transformation of overseas culture,which is embodied by multicultural and multidimensional cultural power factors.Politically,it helps to build and stabilize the marine East Asian system;economically,it provides valuable space for mutual trust and assistance for both sides of trade;culturally,it actively exports the universality of Chinese culture and seeks the internal unity of Chinese and Western cultures.It can be said that Mazu culture has an irreplaceable positive influence not only in promoting the establishment of national emotional ties and value identification mechanism of the countries along the Marine Silk Road with Mazu culture as its core,but also in gaining the recognition and support of the people of the countries along the Marine Silk Road.
