摘要

在明清時期鄉村社會的研究中，宗族和民間宗教一直是研究者最為關注的對象。在這篇文章裡，作者把鄉村宗族和民間宗教的研究，整合到傳統鄉村的社會網絡中，作為觀照社會變遷的表像。文章以廣東潮州澄海縣的冠隴鄉為個案，充分利用了本地的鄉土志、族譜、碑刻和口述資料進行研究。文章引入了「權力」概念，論述冠隴鄉的民間宗教儀式和信仰對象表現出來的鄉村地域與宗族集團之間的支配倚賴關係的變化，並分析導致此變化的基礎，希望藉以了解鄉村社會的歷史與文化變遷。

Scholarship on rural society in Ming-Qing has long focussed on the lineage and popular religion. In this paper, the author integrates rural lineage organization and popular religion into the study of traditional village social networks in order to provide an impression of social change. It is based on a case study of Guanlong township, Chenghai county, Chaozhou in Guangdong. It makes extensive use of local gazetteers, genealogies, stone inscriptions and oral history. The paper uses the concept of power to explore the history of changing relations of dominance and subordination among village and lineage groups as expressed through popular religious rituals and cults. It also analyzes the factors causing these changes in the hope of better understanding local history and cultural transformation.
