明清湖北地区道教建筑时空特征及原因初探

Time and Space Characteristics of Taoist Temples and Their Causes in Hubei During the Ming and Qing Dynasties

摘要:

湖北道教建筑的时空分布，侧面反映了我国本土宗教发展过程中与经济、军事、政治、自然的共融关系。同时，楚人自古信巫尚鬼，与道教早期思想颇有渊源，使得湖北地区成为了道教早期传播与发展的一片沃土。该文以明清时期的湖北道观为研究对象，采用宗教地理学方法，通过湖北地方志等资料的爬梳整理，在数据统计的基础上，对明清时期湖北道教建筑的时空分布进行了特征分析，并初步探讨形成这些特征的主要原因。
