澳門哪吒信俗中的神-人關係與情感秩序

方歡

摘 要：在科學理性話語不斷擴張的背景下，民間信俗常被置於“傳統-現代”“理性-迷信”的二元評價框架之中，其現實功能與社會意義易被簡化理解。澳門哪吒信俗的田野材料顯示，在高度現代化、多元文化並存的社會語境中，該信俗仍通過一系列日常化、可持續的儀式實踐嵌入地方生活，其中頗具特色的“締結親緣”儀式將神明納入親緣倫理結構當中，形成以情感秩序為核心的神-人關係。總體而言，澳門哪吒信俗是一种以情感補充理性之不足，並能維繫社會倫理與心理安定的有中國特色的實踐形態。

The Deity-Human Relationship and Emotional Order

in the NaZha Beliefs in Macau

Abstract: Against the background of the continuous expansion of scientific rationality, folk beliefs are often placed within binary evaluative frameworks such as “tradition versus modernity” and “rationality versus superstition”, which tends to oversimplify their social functions and meanings. Ethnographic materials from Nezha belief practices in Macao indicate that, within a highly modernized and culturally plural social context, this belief system remains embedded in local life through a series of routinized and sustainable ritual practices. Among these, the distinctive practice of “establishing fictive kinship” incorporates the deity into a kinship-based ethical structure, thereby shaping a form of human-divine relationship centered on an affective order. Overall, Nezha belief in Macao represents a practice with Chinese characteristics in which affective experience complements the limits of rationality and contributes to the maintenance of social ethics and psychological stability.
