摘要
妈祖文化发展至当代,以其绵延不绝的生命力在历史长河中书写下浓墨重彩的一笔。在妈祖文化漫长的历史发展过程中,伴随着华人的移民浪潮以及现代国家、民族意识的觉醒,19世纪成为南洋地区妈祖崇拜群体从业缘、方言、地缘群体发展成为具有共同文化认同的族属群体的转折时段。本文通过19世纪早期赴南洋地区传教的伦敦传道会传教士的回忆录与其在当地创办的期刊、19世纪中后期南洋地区华文碑刻遗存以及19世纪末南洋华文报刊等不同资料,分析讨论19世纪马来半岛的南洋华人社会中妈祖崇拜群体边界的动态变化,发现在此过程中,妈祖崇拜所发生的变化与南洋华人社会的变迁息息相关,并且同南洋华人群体中逐渐形成的国家、民族意识相对应。
Lasting until this day,Mazu culture has occupied its unique position in the long river of history with its endless vitality.The lengthy historical development of Mazu culture is accompanied by the immigration waves of Chinese,and their awakening of awareness for modern country and ethnicity;and the 19th century is the period for Mazu believers in Nanyang to transit from a group with shared business,dialect,and geological position to a group of ethnicity with shared culture identity.This article explores the dynamic transition of the boundary of Mazu believers in Nanyang Chinese society by analyzing a variety of materials,including memoirs written by missionaries of London Missionary Society who went to Nanyang for preaching in the early 19th century as well as periodicals they founded there,remains of inscriptions written in Chinese dating back from middle to late 19th century,and Nanyang newspapers and publications written in Chinese at the end of 19th century.It finds that during that process,the transition of Mazu worship is closely linked to the transition of Nanyang Chinese society,and corresponds to the gradual formation of awareness for country and ethnicity among Nanyang Chinese.
