南投縣竹山鎮的社寮里與名間鄉濁水村,隔著濁水溪南北相望。清領時期,往來主要依靠要收費的濁水溪渡。董郁文父子不忍鄉親任舟子恣意剝削,與地方士紳合作,完成免費的永濟義渡,勒石為記,即「永濟義渡碑」。 永濟義渡雖已失去行旅救濟的功能,但是它所記錄的善行義舉,仍矗立在當初的渡船頭─社寮里紫南宮與濁水村福興宮。本文從義渡碑為起點,討論這兩座廟宇如何承續前人「造產共享」的精神,用不同的方式致力於地方經營。於供奉土地公的紫南宮,從敦親睦鄰造福鄰近的社寮四里開始,逐漸擴及整個竹山鎮,甚至其他縣市鄉鎮有急需的機關團體。而供奉媽祖的福興宮,在有限的財力下,則仍然撥出經費,以小額捐助,服務名間地區的鄉親。 目前,兩廟宇的命運有所差異,紫南宮香火鼎盛,而福興宮則頗為稀微,然而二者希望攜手振興與永濟義渡時期,服務社區的態度是一致的。透過兩者歷史淵源與發展的比較,提供未來持續「造產共享」的可能性。
Sheliao Neighborhood,Jhushan Township, Nantou County and Zhuoshui Village, Mingjian Township, Nantou County locates in the north and south of the Zhuoshui River respectively. In the Qing Dynasty, the transportation between the two areas mainly relied on the river crossing that had to be charged some fees. Because Dong Yuwen and his son could not bear to see the villagers be exploited by gondoliers, they decided to cooperate with local gentry, carrying out Yongji Yidu for free. They then engraved the achievement with a stone, which is known as Yongji Yidu Stele now. Although Yongji Yidu has lost the function of relieve, the monument that records the good deed still stands in the original moorage -- Zi-Nan Temple, Sheliao Neighborhood and Fuxing Temple, Zhuoshui Village. This article starts from Yongji Yidu Stele, and discuss how these two temples inherit the spirit of public property production, using different methods to devote to local management. On the one hand, Zi-Nan Temple which worships Earth God, starts from the nearby neighborhood-- Sheliao Neighborhood, and gradually expands to the whole Jhushan Township, and it even helps the government agencies and organizations that belong to other county. On the other hand, Fuxing Temple which worships Matsu allocates funds to service the villagers who live in Mingjian Township, even though their financial resources are limited. There is a difference between the fate of these two temples currently: Zi-Nan Temple is more prosperous than Fuxing Temple. Despite the fact, the two temples’ attitude toward community service is the same: both of them want to revitalization the period of Yongji Yidu. By comparing the history and the development of these two temples, we can sum up that continue to provide public property production is proved to be feasible in the future.
