日据时期罗东地方精英与震安宫发展

Local Elites in Luodong and the Development of Zhen'an Palace During the Japanese Occupation

罗东位于台湾地区东北部的宜兰县,为宜兰地区最繁华的商业城市。供奉天上圣母的罗东震安宫,正是位于罗东的闹区里。自清代建庙以降,除了凭借妈祖本身的威名之外,也因处于重要的交通位置上,震安宫一直是罗东地区最重的信仰中心与重要的公共领域。到了日据时期,即使震安宫遭受祝融与地震的破坏,然而在地方精英的支持下,其恢复到往日荣景。考究其背后原因,除了清代以来震安宫一直是罗东地方最重要的信仰中心外,更重要的是,在日据时期凭借着殖民当局羽翼所兴起的地方精英除利用自己的政商关系,继续建设罗东,让罗东成为当时宜兰地区最重要的商业大镇。此外,这些地方精英为进一步提高自身在罗东的影响力,通过对历史悠久的公共领域震安宫的支持,来获得他们想要的象征资本。
