摘要
天妃又称妈祖,是我国东南沿海地区从南到北都崇信的一位女性神灵。基于海运和河运的重要性,南宋以来,历代王朝不断对其进行加封。明代永乐年间京杭大运河全线贯通后,天妃信仰逐渐从沿海扩展到运河沿线区域,祭祀天妃的庙宇遍布运河沿线各州县。官方的倡导和推动以及运河航运的现实需要是天妃信仰盛行的主要原因,福建商人更是在其中扮演了极为重要的角色。天妃庙宇在为明清官方提供祭祀场所的同时,对运河沿线区域民众社会生活也产生了深刻影响。
Tianfei,also called Mazu,is a female god worshipped from the north to the south in the Southeast coastal area of China. Based on the importance of the sea and river transport,Tianfei was continually granted more titles from the past dynasties since the Southern Song dynasties. After the Beijing- Hangzhou Grand Canal was all connected in the Yongle Period of The Ming Dynasty,the Tianfei religion gradually extended from coastal to the region along the canal. The Tianfei’s temples were distributed throughout the states and counties of the Beijing- Hangzhou Grand Canal region. The official advocacy and promotion as well as the practical needs of the canal shipping is the main reason for the prevalence of the Tianfei religion,in which the merchants of Fujian province played an important role in the process of the Tianfei religion’s propagation. The temples of Tianfei provide the places of worship for the country of the Ming and Qing Dynasties which also brought about the profound impact on the social life of people in the canal coastal area.
