金門宗族組織與地方信仰

宋代民間開始修纂族譜,明朝中葉庶民可以興建祠堂祭祖,福建地區許多宗族建造宗祠以維繫血緣親屬,大宗族漸多。金門每村至少都有一座宗祠。每年清明墓祭與冬至祭祖是島上大事,可說是國內宗族社會典範。金門的聚落裡宗祠與寺廟不但是主要空間地標,也是聚落生活核心─祭祖與神明信仰的儀式進行所在。

案以金門歐厝與西村二個單姓村為個案,考察戰地政務時期至今,金門的宗族組織及其信仰之運作情形,了解金門宗族社會與地方信仰,呈現金門聚落宗族組織的文化內涵及多樣性,提供作為解說教育參考使用。

Abstract

In the song dynasty families began to compile genealogies. In the Ming times, many lineages in Fujian started constructing ancestral halls and compiled lineage genealogies to maintain lineage identity and unity. Large lineages emerged as a result of ancestral worship. People participate in sweeping ancestral tombs on Qingming and annual ancestral worship on winter solstice. Jinmen remians a lineage society. Ancestral halls and temples constitute the public sphere and serve as the core of village life. The project examines lineage structure and the practice of religion in Jinmen since 1949, with especial reference to Xicun and Oucuo. The objective is to explore the relationship between lineage and popular religion on Jinmen for tourist interpretation.
