梁朝以来池州昭明太子信仰的建构与发展

Construction and Development of the Belief of Prince Zhaoming in Chizhou Since the Liang Dynasty

池州昭明太子的衣冠冢和庙建立于梁朝,是我国历史上较早构建昭明太子信仰的地方。它是在梁武帝的皇储制度引发战争危机的情况下,池州地方上为保境安民而采取的一种应急措施。池州昭明太子信仰形成于梁朝,发展于唐朝,兴盛于宋元,衰落于明清。明清以来与广大城乡庙会结合起来,成为一种官民互动、祭神演剧的娱乐行为。

Chizhou Zhaoming prince’s tomb and temple were established in Liang Dynasty,which is the early place to build Zhaoming prince’s faith in Chinese history.It is a kind of emergency measure adopted by Chizhou to protect the territory and the people under the situation of war crisis caused by the crown prince system of Emperor Wudi of Liang.The belief of Chizhou Zhaoming prince was formed in Liang Dynas-ty,developed in Tang Dynasty,flourished in Song and Yuan Dynasties,and declined in Ming and Qing Dynasties.Since the Ming and Qing Dy-nasties,it has been combined with the vast number of urban and rural temple fairs,and become an entertainment behavior for the interaction be-tween the government and the people and the performance of gods.
