Abstract
臺灣民間信仰多元豐富，起因與先民移居渡臺有關。移民帶入原鄉信仰，參雜佛、道、民間教派相容而成為臺灣民間信仰。道士受到正統教團、經典制度的影響，行道作法須受誡律規範；法師源自原始巫覡文化，融合正一教派與地方風尚，廣泛吸收儒、佛文化而成，促使民間法派的發展更為多元蓬勃。本土民間信仰文化中，法師佔有舉足輕重的地位，法師與小法團為神明與地方鄉里服務，舉凡清壇請神、聖誕祝壽、犒軍安營、驅邪壓煞、開光祭煞等民間信仰儀式常見的科儀皆為小法團作用。
臺灣小法團派系繁多，大抵可分「閭山派」、「普庵派」兩大派系。閭山派為巫覡文化融入正統道教後的民間法派，盛行於閩浙、廣東、臺灣等地，本文擇傳承自茄萣劉部堂子弟壇心辰壇小法團為主要研究觀察例。劉部堂小法團屬於閭山派徐甲法脈，兼融道教儀式文化後自成一門法派，撰文探討「道法兼容」後，劉部堂子弟壇小法科儀之宗教講唱與清壇法咒敘事性，著重儀式行為及咒語的講唱敘事，藉此探究民間信仰中小法團宗教講唱敘事模式及其功能性。
Taiwan has a diverse and rich popular religious
culture that can be traced back to the migration of early settlers to the
island. These settlers brought their religious beliefs, including a blend of
Buddhism, Taoism, and various popular sects. This blend of beliefs gave rise to
popular religion in Taiwan. Popular religious practices in Taiwan are led by
fashi or ritual masters, who play a crucial role in serving gods and local
communities. Various popular religious ceremonies, such as invoking deities for
blessings, birthday celebrations for deities, military encampment ceremonies,
exorcisms, and consecration rituals, are commonly performed by groups known as xiaofatuan.
Taiwanese xiaofatuan can be broadly
categorized into the Lüshan and Puan traditions, with the former representing a
blend of shamanic culture with orthodox Taoism. The xiaofatuan group
from the Liu Butang in Qieding (Gaoxiong) is part of the Lüshan tradition’s Xu
Jia lineage, which has integrated Taoist ritual culture to form a distinctive religious
practice. This study focuses on the narrative chanting and storytelling aspects
of religious rituals and purification incantations of the Liu Butang xiaofatuan
group. It emphasizes the performative aspects of rituals and the chanting of
incantations, seeking to explore the narrative modes and functionality of
religious chanting in xianfatuan within Taiwanese popular religion.
