深圳孔聖堂的儒教實踐與道德治理
Religious Confucian Practices and Moral Governance of Shenzhen's Kongshengtang
摘要
儒家團體怎樣參與地方治理？跟日漸增多的關於儒學的宗教式發展及其在中國制度化的可能性的研究文獻相反，本文將聚焦在這些團體在地方治理方面的作用及他們是否具有宗教性等問題之上。為此，本文實地研究了位於深圳的孔聖堂－一個參與當地社區治理的非營利性公益團體－及其通過教義宣傳和日常禮儀活動參與地方的道德治理的情況。首先，本文將介紹孔聖堂的起源和活動（教義、禮儀等），以及其堂主周北辰。經由對周北辰的研究，我們將論證孔聖堂不僅積極參與道德治理，而且積極參與當地的宗教活動－即使儒教目前在中國大陸仍不被承認。此外，本文將討論孔聖堂宗教性和道德性的宣傳如何與中共關於和諧社會的論述結合，進一步顯示其如何參與地方的道德治理。最後，本文以運用經濟宗教學的框架，對孔聖堂在儒學宗教性方面之有效性提出評估。

How do Confucian groups participate in local governance? Contrary to the growing body of literature which discusses the development of Confucianism as religion and its possible institutionalization in China, this paper focuses on the role of these groups in local governance. This article explores Shenzhen-based Kongshengtang, a non-profit public interest group and argues that this group participates in moral governance through its teachings and daily rituals. First, the article introduces the Kongshengtang, its origin, activities (i.e., teachings and ritual), and its director. By examining the director, a student of the Confucian master Jiang Qing, we demonstrate that Kongshengtang actively participates in moral governance as well as in the local religious condition, even though Confucianism is not recognized as a religion in mainland China. Second, this paper shows how Kongshengtang's religious and moral discourses involve itself in the Chinese Communist Party's narrative regarding harmonious society and thus, how it participates in moral governance. Finally, we will conclude by applying the religious economic framework to assess its validity in the case of the religious Confucianism displayed by Kongshentang.
