明清鄱阳湖地区民间水神信仰初探
Folk belief in water god in Poyang Lake area in Ming and Qing Dynasty
摘要
Abstract
During Ming and Qing Dynasty,the Poyang Lake area is haunted by frequent disasters,and the local peo-ple were always troubled by alternative flood or draught. Therefore,there emerged various kinds of folk worship of water god,who is represented by such forms as natural water god,and water god in human image and animal image. The water god worship is characteristics of localization of the gods,diversification in sources,utilitarianization in be-liefs,and political ritual. These characteristics enable the water god worship in Poyang Lake area to prevail over one hundred years,with a large number of believers and numerous temples. The main reason for the existence of water god worship in Poyang Lake area is that it meets the needs of the people’s spiritual aspiration,and provides solace to the people who were eager to rid themselves of disasters;and that it is consistent with the practice of national me-morial and beneficial for cultural manipulation and social stability.关键词
