大稻埕迎城隍遶境：廟會祭典傳承者的文化認同形塑

Abstract

本報導旨在探討台北大稻埕迎城隍遶境活動在都市化背景下的存續與變遷。迎城隍遶境過去曾是大稻埕地區規模盛大的宗教祭典，與北港迎媽祖並列為台灣的重要民俗活動。然因地方產業外移、人口流失及祭典籌辦機構的內部分歧，該活動一度停辦。隨著2023年大稻埕鯤溟八將團的復出及2024年當地陣頭軒社的重新團結，在地視角逐漸回歸。本文深度訪談當地迎城隍參與組織與台北霞海城隍廟的相關人員，以回答兩個主要的問題：2023-2024年參與大稻埕迎城隍祭典的在地社團組織如何建構他們所認同的文化記憶？這些記憶建構有哪些衝突與重合之處？ 本報導深入探討大稻埕迎城隍文化如何與都市化的街區相互碰撞與交融，並分析當地社群如何在都市變遷的背景下維繫與傳承這一傳統宗教慶典。此外，報導亦關注參與祭典的社區組織如何建構他們的文化記憶，及其過程中衝突與重合的現象。透過這些辯證與資料，本報導希望呈現大稻埕迎城隍遶境在現代都市空間中的文化意義與未來發展的方向。

This thesis aims to explore the continuation and transformation of the Taipei Dadaocheng City God Parade（稻江迎城隍） amidst urbanization. Due to industrial relocation, population decline, and internal conflicts among organizing bodies, the event met obstacles. With the reappearance of the Bajiajiang（鯤溟八將團） troupe in 2023 and the renewed unity among local Pei-Kuan parade troupes（北管軒社） in 2024, community-based perspectives have gradually re-emerged. Through in-depth interviews with local organizing groups, Taipei Xia-Hai City God Temple affiliates, academics and experts in relevant fields, this thesis seeks to answer two major questions: How did local community groups participating in the 2023–2024 Dadaocheng City God Parade construct their sense of cultural memory? What conflicts and compatibility emerged in the process? This thesis further investigates how the Dadaocheng City God tradition interacts with and adapts to an urbanized environment, analyzing how local communities strive to preserve and pass on this traditional religious event amidst urban transformation. It also explores how community organizations involved in the festival construct their cultural memory. Through these dialectics and empirical data, the report attempts to articulate the cultural significance and potential future directions of the City God Parade.
