摘要: 民间信仰的神祇中,不仅具有其地方意义,而且其诸多形式具有国家象征意义,而以民间信仰来讨论“国家”与“地方”之关系,乃是如今宗教学界所忽略者。兹以金泽镇所存地方信仰祭祀形式,尝试提供一种新的民间宗教研究角度。金泽镇位于上海市青浦区,至今仍然保存着一套以“杨老爷”为核心的民间宗教,镇上“桥桥有庙,庙庙有桥”的信仰格局,俨然构成明清儒家祠祀体系,体现出近世以来的江南,其地方信仰模式的诸多特点。江南民间宗教是一个完整的信仰系统,儒教祠祀表现出“国家”特征,众多的老爷信仰则表现出“地方”性质。依据金泽镇的田野调查和江南苏、松二府地方志的文献整理,可以看出乡镇一级的祠祀系统,是维持江南地方社会的重要支柱。

Abstract: The gods in folk religions have their symbolic meaning of both the local and the national. However, the relationship between the local and the national in folk religion has been seldom discussed in today’s religious circle. By studying the sacrifice forms in folk religion in Jinze Town, this paper attempts to provide a new dimension. A folk religion with “Lord Yang” as the main god has been preserved till now in Jinze Town, Qingpu District, Shanghai. The religious pattern of “temple and bridge” in the town forms a sacrifice system of Confucianism dating back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which reflects many features of local religion in Jiangnan area since medieval times. Jiangnan folk religion is a complete faith system, in which Confucian sacrifice is national while various “Lords” are local. Based on the field investigation in Jinze and the examination of local chronicles of Suzhou Province and Songjiang Province, this paper shows that the sacrifice system on the township level is an important pillar that supports local societies in Jiangnan.
