采田福地 人與番的民族邊界

Abstract

采田福地位於新竹竹北新社，名稱由來即因有供奉土地公（福地）的關係而來，也就是番人的土地公廟。由於土地公信仰的關係，因此產生了人與番的民族邊界，人與番彼此之間各自有祭拜的對象（竹塹社人七姓土地公與七姓祖先兩者都拜；外人只拜土地公，不拜七姓祖先）。另一方面，采田福地展現的民族邊界還有拜拜、語言與民俗，以及節日與空間的邊界。本文即根據這些民族邊界的指標，探討采田福地民族邊界的發展。

The Barbarian’s Fortune Land is located in the Hsin She of Chubei city, Hsinchu county. The origin of the name that is due to land dedicated to the Lord of the Soil and the Ground, that is Barbarian’s Lord of the Soil and the Ground.Because of the public belief in the land, ethnic boundaries have been created. People and Barbarian each have their own object of worship (the Zhu Qian She worshipped their seven surnames ancestors and the Lord of the Soil and the Ground; outsiders only worship the Lord of the Soil and the Ground and do not worship the ancestors of the seven surnames). On the other hand, the borders of the ethnic groups displayed in the fields of belief, language and culture, as well as between people and space. In this paper, I will discuss the changes and invariance of the ethnic boundaries of the well-being The Barbarian’s Fortune Land, based on the indicators of these ethnic borders.
