中文摘要
「歷史」、「文物」、「地域社會」的連結,是研究地方史、文化交流
的重要元素,承載著地方社群集體記憶,富有歷史意義及研究價值,值得重
視。
隨著時間的推移,「歷史」漸為人們所淡忘,「文物」伴隨著天災人禍
等未知因素而損毀消逝,繼而「地域社會」的連結也隨之淹沒在歷史的洪流
之中,人們慢慢失去集體記憶,亦就不知不覺失去地域社會的在地性認同基
礎。
依此,本文試以臺灣本島現存的 10 通清代神道碑-苗栗後龍「鄭崇和
神道碑」、臺中太平「林文察墓道碑」、臺中大里「林文欽墓道碑」、鹿谷
「林鳳池神道碑」、鹿谷「林溫恭神道碑」、鹿谷「林傑墓道碑」、臺南赤
崁樓碑林「鄭其仁墓道碑」、臺南赤崁樓碑林「陳登昌墓道碑」、臺南赤崁
樓碑林「魏輔佐墓道碑」、臺南大南門碑林「五妃墓道碑」等石刻文物為例,
探微其所蘊含的史料價值,藉此運用多元視角,發掘、重現已為歲月所塵封
的歷史軌跡。
神道碑作為一種歷史文物,毫無疑問的替後人留下了歷史的蛛絲馬跡,
提供了考古實證,亦建構曩昔的社會情境。有鑑於此,本文試圖透過神道碑
的探微,溯源漢人墓葬習俗的緣起與變遷,並從葬俗中理出豎立神道碑的
象徵意義,進而以臺灣現存之清代神道碑為實例,透過碑銘線索,一則尋出
墓主事略,二來尋出文字書寫的史料價值-封贈制度、社群網絡中的社會參
與。
