Chinese Abstract

1999 年澳門回歸中國後,越來越多研究者把目光放在澳門的傳統文化上, 發現澳門除了有歷史悠久的天主教教堂、各種西式的建築之外,還保留了多所極 具歷史價值的中式廟宇,其中包括沙梨頭土地廟、雀仔園福德祠、下環福德祠等。 有學者以歷史學的角度去分析它,有學者就以建築學的角度去解剖它,更有學者 以社會學的角度去研究它。而本文將綜合、整理前人對澳門土地神廟的各種研究 成果,探索土地神崇拜的社會功能,並從文學的角度去分析土地神在澳門文學中 的形象,因為土地神信仰對澳門這個城市的影響已不局限於歷史學、建築學與社 會學而已,而是深入到澳門市民的文化想像和社會生活空間,從而影響著筆下的 文學作品。 本文先通過中國四大名著中的《西遊記》與《紅樓夢》來分析該書中土地神 的形象,並與當時中國大陸中的土地神信仰的形象作比較,從中得出二者之間的 異同與關係;再就本澳創作中對土地神的想像與澳門現實生活中的土地神崇拜作 比較;最後,再與前者作整體的綜合比較分析,如土地神在經典文學中的形象與 它在澳門文學作品中的形象作比較,並得出以下的結論:澳門的土地神信仰雖然 已不如當年鼎盛,但是仍然保留下來了,而土地神在市民心中的形象經過歲月的 洗禮後,已有所改變,從而影響著文人筆下的土地神形象的變遷與發展。從另一 角度看,在文人筆下的文學作品中也可窺見歷史文化的傳承和變異。
