边贸集市与宗教关系研究——以重庆市万州区龙驹镇为个案

Research About the Relationship between Township Market on the Border and Religions:A Case of Chongqing Longju Town

龙驹集市发端于北宋,南宋已成规模,清代及民国中期达繁盛顶峰。随之佛教、基督教、天主教相继传入,与道教及本地民间信仰共生共存。清末民初,受“庙产兴学”的影响,寺庙不仅参与集市交易,还承担娱乐、议事、处理纠纷等空间职能。中华人民共和国成立后,在社会主义道路的探索中,乡村集市与宗教发展均受到不同程度的限制。城镇化进程中,乡村空心化迫使龙驹转向发展特色小镇之路。其间,宗教信仰有一定程度的复兴,但与集市发展形成了两条毫无交集的轨道。

The township market of the Longju started in the Northern Song Dynasty,and in the Southern Song Dynasty,it developed well.The township market of the Longju showed prosperity in the early Qing Dynasty and Republic of China.Subsequently,Buddhism,Christianity,and Catholicism were introduced,coexisting with Taoism and local folk beliefs.At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China,under the influence of"turned temple into school",temples not only participated in market transactions,but also assumed space functions such as entertainment,discussion,and dispute settlement.After the founding of the People's Republic of China,in the exploration of the socialist road,the development of rural fairs and religions were restricted to different degrees.In the process of urbanization,the hollowing of the village forced Longju to turn to develop the special town.During this period,the religion of Longju Town had a certain degree of revival,but formed two disjointed tracks with the development of the market.
