史蕴文资——试论史学视域下台湾妈祖宫庙志编修问题与方向

Historical and Cultural Perspective:On the Compilation and Direction of Mazu Temple Records in Taiwan from the Perspective of Historiography

台湾地区妈祖庙志编纂始于20世纪80年代,具有规模、历史的妈祖庙纷纷编修庙史,保存和记录庙宇的历史沿革、建筑变迁、宗教活动。但也因各庙的立场与编撰史家因素,故衍生出各种矛盾。本文系以史学为视角,提出中国传统史学家所需之史才、史学、史识、史德等四长为思考,提供庙志撰述者参考。主张当代庙志的编修,应考量多元性与复杂性,除庙志应有的内容外,各庙可以彰显其特色亮点。建议应先展开资料盘整与区域研究,通过研讨,广泛交流,形成共识,逐步建构以“史实”为根据的妈祖信仰谱系。此外,应推动庙志的区域性资料研究,考量建立数字妈祖庙志与实体之图书馆。

The compilation of Mazu region Temple Records in Taiwan began in the 1980s.Temples with scale and history have compiled temple histories to preserve and record the historical evolution,architectural changes,and religious activities of the temples.However,due to the positions of various temples and the factors of compiling historians,various contradictions have arisen.This article takes the perspective of historiography and proposes the four strengths of historical talent,historiography,historical knowledge,and historical virtue that traditional Chinese historians need to think about,providing a reference for temple record writers.It advocates that the compilation of contemporary temple records should consider diversity and complexity.In addition to the content that temple records should have,each temple can highlight its unique features.It is suggested to start with data integration and regional research,through seminars,extensive exchanges,form a consensus,and gradually construct a pedigree of Mazu belief based on"historical facts",In addition,it should promote regional data research on temple records,and Putian University considers establishing a digital Mazu temple record and a physical library.
