唐后期地方官府祈雨修庙立碑与南方地域社会——以虔州储谭庙碑刻为例

The Praying for Rain,Repairing Temple and Erecting Stele by Local Governments in the Late Tang Dynasty and Southern Regional Society:A Case Study of the Steles at the Chutan Temple in Qianzhou

大历五年裴谞撰《储潭神颂》与裴曙撰《储潭祈雨感应颂并序》石刻是观察8世纪后期虔州地域社会的重要入口。储谭庙由东晋时代的岭南北上移民群体所建,是人们祈求十八滩航船平安的重要信仰空间。大历二年,裴谞外放虔州刺史,翌年便在储谭庙祈雨、修庙乃至立碑,这一系列行为反映出外来世家大族、地方官府与当地人群之间的复杂互动关系,揭示出唐后期南方地域社会经济文化的快速发展趋势。

The stone inscriptions “Ode to the Chutan Deity” by Pei Xu and “Ode to the Efficacy of Praying for Rain at the Chutan Temple” by Pei Shu in the fifth year of the Dali era are important windows for observing the regional society of Qianzhou in the late 8th century.The Chutan Temple was built by immigrant groups from the Lingnan area to the north during the Eastern Jin Dynasty and served as a significant place of worship where people prayed for the safe passage of ships through the Eighteen Rapids.In the second year of the Dali era,Pei Xu was appointed as the governor of Qianzhou.The following year,he prayed for rain,repaired the temple and erected stele at the Chutan Temple.These actions reflect the complex interactions between influential immigrant families,local government officials and the local populace,revealing the rapid socio-economic and cultural development of southern regional society in the late Tang Dynasty.
