在屏東縣的小琉球（琉球鄉），是1個珊瑚礁島，居民以捕魚為業。因此， 祈求神明庇祐漁獲滿載、平安歸航為祭祀廟宇的主要宗教信仰。經筆者田野 調查所得，在小琉球約 75 座廟宇中，庇祐漁民的眾多神祇，並不全然都是 大廟正神，約有近 4 成約 30 座廟宇可歸屬於陰廟系統，如大眾爺、水仙尊 王及被祭祀的無主孤魂等。 本文將從小琉球的 4 個角頭（區域）包括大寮、天臺、杉板路和白沙尾 陰廟分布的田調資料，來探討小琉球因漁民海上作業而衍生的「水流公」信 仰。

Liuqiu Township of Pingtung County is a coral island and most of the islanders make their living by fishing. The fishermen always pray for temple’s gods bless of catching full fishes and safe returns. According to my field studies since 2007, there are about 75 temples in Liuqiu Township, grand and small temples. However, there are more than 30 temples belong to yin temples, the number is approximately 1/4 of the total number. The yin temples worship Dazhong-ye, Shuesian Deities, the deceased corpse, and etc. The main theme of this paper is to discuss the yin temples’ belief which results from the Liuqiu Township fishermen’s worship, and in this paper it will focus on four zones including Daliao, Tian-tai, Shan-ban Road, and Baishawei areas.
