摘要
元和十年杭州刺史盧元輔撰《胥山銘并序》揭示了唐後期地方官府利用當地伍子胥信仰實施海塘修築工程的歷史真相.盧元輔通過修廟、祭神、立碑等儀式性手段對信仰進行强化,從官方的立場對民間祠神信仰進行承認,從而與祠廟的經營者建立起合作關係,並利用祠神信仰的力量招募勞力.在7-9世紀的中國江南地區,那些在廢毁淫祠運動中幸免於難的民間祠廟,已不再是簡單的信仰空間,而是被地方官府賦予特定區域治理功能的施政工具.
Abstract
The Preface and Inscription of Hsü Mountain,written by Lu Yuanfu,the governor of Hangzhou in the 10th year of Yuanhe's reign,which revealed the historical truth that local officials implemented the seawall construction project by the faith of Wu Tzu-hsü in the late Tang Dynasty.Lu Yuanfu strengthened the faith through ritual means such as temple building,offering sacrifices to gods,and erecting a monument,and recognized the folk faith of god temples from the official standpoint,so as to establish a cooperative relationship with the managers of temples,and use the power of the faith in temples to recruit labor.In the regions south of the Yangtze River in the seventh to ninth century,those folk temples that survived the actions of abolishing and destroying temples for worshiping unorthodox gods are no longer a simple faith space,but a governance tool entrusted by local officials with the governance function of specific regions.
