鄭成功信仰在台灣－異文化之各自表述

所謂的「鄭成功信仰」，是指鄭成功逝世以後，在各地被人供奉為「神明」，信仰、祭拜的現象。正如同「時勢造英雄」這句話的道理，地理環境、政治因素、信仰文化，都是主導歷史人物「擁有不同評價」，或者「能否成神」的重要因素。在不同文化思維下所存在的「鄭成功信仰」，因而也有著不盡相同的意義與內涵。本論藉由中日混血之鄭成功為例，透過中日兩國的文學、歷史與宗教信仰等不同領域，來觀察同一位歷史人物在不同文化背景中，所被塑造出來的不同形象。並藉以闡述中華民族與大和民族這兩個本質看似雷同卻又相異的文化脈絡中，因台灣特殊的歷史背景，造就台日五十年政治密切關聯的連結，而發展出同床異夢信仰習俗的一個實際事例，來呈現在不同的文化思維與價值觀的影響下，所衍發出來的行為模式與生活習慣中難以避免的文化衝突。
