帆船时代海南渔民西、南沙岛礁信俗研究

A Study of Hainan Fishermen’s Beliefs and Customs for the Xisha and Nansha Islands and Reefs in the Age of Sail

晚明以来,海南渔民南海海上作业区间逐步外展,拓宽了渔业群体的生存空间。南海自然环境中诸多不利因素,对该群体生产生活构成巨大威胁。出于现实需要,不同地域神灵的移植与崇拜活动贯穿于该群体始终。西、南沙岛礁及其附近水域,是海南文化地理的自然延伸,是海南岛不可分割的地理空间。

Since the late Ming Dynasty,Hainan fishermen have gradually expanded the maritime operation zone in the South China Sea,widening the living space of fishery groups.However,many unfavorable factors in the natural environment of the South China Sea pose a great threat to the production and life of this group.Thus,the transplant and worship activities of the deities in the different regions are deeply rooted in this group of fishermen.Naturally,the Xisha and Nansha islands and reefs,along with their adjacent waters,are the natural extension of Hainan’s cultural geography and the inseparable geographical space of Hainan Island.
