摘要
明清时期，鄱阳湖地区洪涝灾害频繁，民众苦不堪言，因此，围绕水体产生了诸多水神信仰。鄱阳湖区民间水神有自然水神、人格水神和动物水神，并呈现出本土化、多元化、功利化、政治化色彩等特点。这些特点使得鄱阳湖地区民间水神信仰信众广泛，庙宇广建，至今犹存。究其主要原由是民众精神上的渴求、民间水神的灵异、慰藉百姓禳灾的心理、国家祭祀的导向作用和文化控制与维护社会稳定。
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.
