清代苏州地区的村庙和镇庙:从民间信仰透视城乡关系

本文对清代苏州地区镇庙与村庙的关系作了多层次的探讨，透过镇城隍庙和“解钱粮”习俗的出现，审视了民间信仰在农村与市镇交往中的某些图像。研究表明，民间信仰中呈现的上下级关系在一定程度上与城乡的等级差别基本吻合，但是不少位于大镇之间的市集甚至村落有时亦扮演着重要的角色。

The Village Temples and Town Temples in Suzhou District during Qing Dynasty:the Town-village Relationship from the Perspective of Folk Belief

This paper discusses the relationship of village temples and town temples in Suzhou district in Qing Dynasty from multiple dimensions. The appearances of the Town God Temples and the Jieqianliang custom helped us understand some particular images of folk belief during the intercourses of villages and towns. To some extent, the research indicates that the upper-lower relationship between the towns and villages in folk belief had some resemblance with the hierachical differences of villages and towns, but it was not totally the same because some fairs or even some villages which located among the large towns sometimes played an important role.
