澎湖宮廟林立，幾乎每一村里都有公眾的宮廟。而宮廟的神職人 員以法教的法師為代表。因宮廟的年中行事都由法教的法師負責做事科 儀。又各宮廟都有自己的法師團，並且是無給職的服務奉獻。可說法教 已成為澎湖的文化資產。 澎湖宮廟之能保持完整的法教科儀，與王船祭關係密切。王船祭很 講究傳統科儀，包括儒教禮生的宴王、道教道士的醮事、法教法師的演 法，而總其成者是法教的法師。 澎湖盛行王船文化，諸如2009年全澎湖舉行多次王船祭，其中嵵裡 水仙宮的王船祭最具規模。本文將詳實記錄整個嵵裡水仙宮王船祭的過 程，而依先後次序分別敘述如下：請王；造寶艦、做王船醮、採乩童、 點新小法、遶境、祀宴、做醮還願、送王、祭江、火化等。

The main leaders of the temples in Penghu are Faist Masters,who organize and execute the rituals annually.Each temple has its own Faist group who serves the temple without getting paid.Faism could be seen as the cultural property in Penghu. One of the reasons why many rituals are completely preserved in Penghu is strongly related to the ritual of Wan Chuang.This ritual emphasizes the traditional ritual,including treating the King in a Confucius manner,the ceremonies by Taoist priests,and the Fa performance by Faists.Within them,the Faist Masters are key figures who conclude all the performance. The King’s Ship Rituals are very popular in Penghu.Several of them have been executed in 2009.Within them, the one at Shuishen Temple at Suli is most representative.This paper examines the whole process of the Wan Chuang Ritual at Suli,including Requesting the Deity,Making the Treasure Vessels,Making the Wan Chuang, Shaman’s performance,Selection of New Hsiao-Fa,Procession,Banquet,Returning Ceremonies,Farewell the Deity, Thanking the River,and Cremation.
