摘要
民间信仰祠神是人们内心精神需求的外化,信众群体及相应的社会空间与地方祠神构成了相互依存、相互影响的辩证关系,是以祠神为标志和纽带的地方认同得以培育和维系的基础.本研究将宁波地区鄞县、慈溪、镇海、奉化、象山、定海6县方志中记载的与海洋相关的祠神进行统计,分析海神信仰作为宁波沿海地方标志及其与在区域历史时期社会经济活动和人群融合的关系.本研究认为,民间祠神的"功能"是推动民间祠神传播扩散的主要力量之一,并且是连结迁移人群和本土居民共同心理诉求和维系地方认同的重要纽带.
Folk deity is a materialization form of people＇s mind. There are some dialectical relation- ships among believers, social space and folk deity. Often, such relationships are the foundation by which the symbol of place identity and link of people come into being. This paper counts the number of sea deity in the chronicles of six counties in the coastal area of Ningbo including Yin, Cixi, Zhenghai, Fenghua, Xiangshan, Dinghai and the relations between sea deity as the local symbol of the coastal area in Ningbo, social economic activities in history and integration of crowd are analyzed. The paper argues that the function of folk ancestor deity is a knot of not only combining the psychologi- cal demands both for emigration and local people, but also maintaining the place identity. At the same time, the function is one of the important powers which promote the spreading of folk deity faith.
