摘要

我國傳統的元宵節習俗，自魏晉南北朝增添了「迎紫姑」活動。紫姑本一地位卑微的女子，但死後升格為神，其職司和人民的日常生活休戚相關，故得到社會廣泛的認同與支持。迎紫姑的習俗流傳久遠，惟經過環境的遞變及時代的歷練後，有與類似的故事發生合流的狀況，也有從本身演化出相關傳說的情形，因而使「紫姑神」的面目有著多種不同的型態。舊時民間迎請紫姑的方式，就是所謂的「扶箕」，求紫姑為卜對民間信仰影響深遠。然這原本是一種僅限於未婚女子的閨閣遊戲，漸擴及為婦女們所從事的活動，如今則為不論男女，人人皆可為之的風俗習慣。主要是因為人們對神明的信賴，以及決疑解惑的心理需求，希冀能藉此紓解精神上的鬱悶，獲得心靈的寄託與安慰。
