Abstract

 

明代中後期以來,大量福建移民進入浙南,在一定的程度上形塑了該區域的社會文化。處州府松陽縣的石倉就形成了以清代中前期閩汀籍客家移民為主的鄉村聚落,以客家人為主的移民不僅帶來了山區開發所需的人口,促進了當地社會經濟的發展,還帶來了祖籍地的文化傳統,尤其體現在神明和祖先崇拜,以及宗教儀式方面。本文結合族譜、科儀本等民間歷史文獻和田野考察,對清代以來浙南石倉客家移民聚落的神明和祖先崇拜、儀式傳統及其實踐作系統梳理,重點關注移民帶來的宗教文化與當地原有宗教文化之間的關係,宗教文化在石倉鄉村社會生活,以及移民在地化過程中所扮演的角色。

During the latter half of the Ming dynasty, a large number of Fujian migrants settled in southern Zhejiang, where they contributed to the growth of that region’s social and cultural traditions. One example of this phenomenon may be found in Shicang 石倉 (located in Songyang 松陽 County, Chuzhou 處州 Prefecture), where Hakka migrants from Tingzhou 汀州 Prefecture in Western Fujian became a prominent force in local development during the early and mid-Qing eras. These migrants not only brought in much-needed manpower for the exploitation of mountain resources and the enhancement of Shicang’s socioeconomic development, but also transmitted numerous cultural traditions from their ancestral homeland, especially the worship of deities and ancestors as well as other ritual activities. This article combines local historical documents such as genealogies and ritual texts with data collected during fieldwork to systematically analyze the religious traditions and ritual practices of Hakka communities in Shicang since the Qing dynasty, such as the worship of deities and ancestors. In addition, this article focuses on the interaction between migrant and indigenous religious cultures, as well as the role religion played in the social life of Shicang villagers and processes of migrant localization.
