妈祖信仰在东南亚的在地化表现

The Localization of Mazu Belief in Southeast Asia

妈祖信仰在国内因国家化、在海外以社群化而达到鼎盛,在海内外不同区域中呈现出在地化现象。过往较多的研究关注妈祖信仰的发展、兴盛过程,本文以东南亚妈祖信仰为例,关注妈祖信仰在地化的具体表现,认为主要有三:其一,祭祀妈祖的庙宇取名不按惯例;其二,妈祖与其他神共享一庙;其三,妈祖与其他神共寄一像,甚至共用一名。妈祖信仰的东南亚在地化事例充分说明,文明共存之道乃人类社会和平发展的一种出路。

Mazu belief has reached its peak in China due to nationalization and communityization overseas,and it shows localization in different regions at home and abroad.In the past,many studies have focused on the development and prosperity of Mazu beliefs.This paper takes Mazu belief in Southeast Asia as an example to focus on the localization of Mazu belief.It is believed that there are three main aspects:first,the naming of temples to worship Mazu is not customary;Second,Mazu shares a temple with other gods;third,Mazu and other gods share a statue together,and even share one name.The localization case of Mazu belief in Southeast Asia fully demonstrates that the way of coexistence of civilizations is a way out for the peaceful development of human society.
