摘要
唐、宋流行科名由各种神灵"前定"的理论,而举子们亟需一个科举主宰神,统治者更需一个国家的科举守护神。这个"神"终于在宋、元之际被"造"出来,它就是"文昌梓潼帝君"。此神原是蜀中的一个地方小神,在民俗、皇权、社会变迁、道教等多种因素和力量的推动下,最终成了后代科场冥冥中的"主试",从而也把"科名前定论"推向了更高的层次。
It was widely believed in the Tang and Song Dynasties that the results of imperial examinations （IEs） were predetermined by gods; therefore IEs takers were in dire need of a god controlling IEs and the ruling class needed a god safeguarding IEs. Such a god was finally created during the transitional period from the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty. He was called Wenchang Zitong Dijun {God of Literature in Zitong of Sichuan}. Originally a minor god in Sichuan, Wenchang Zitong Dijun gradually became a ruler of IEs owing to the joint impact of folk customs, imperial power, social changes and Taoism, which greatly enhanced the position of the theory of ＂predetermination of results of IEs＂.
