【摘要】 古迹是人类社会发展与文化活动之留存证物，具体地反映每个地方每个时代的生活方式。在台湾古迹中以寺庙之份量占得最重也最多，是民间文化的重要表徵。明末清初，一批批闽粤地区居民，渡海来台拓荒，也带来了原乡的宗教信仰，在各聚落建立起寺庙。这些寺庙不仅是移民精神的慰藉与寄托，更转而为移民斩荆棘、辟草莱，团结互助的所在，而且地方上举凡如治安、产业、交通、教育、联谊娱乐……等等，莫不透过寺庙以推行。 台湾大多数寺庙每隔若干年代，便会有扩建、增建之举，每次的修建，不仅纪录了寺庙自身的历史沿革与发展轨迹，更反映了当时社会、经济、政治、文化、社群等的变迁兴衰。台湾寺庙古迹之所以可贵，是它可以凝固时间，让历史的某一段纪录忠实地表达出来。一部台湾开发史可以说即浓缩在寺庙史中。这种价值可以与文字历史互相引证，也可以修正文字记载之偏差与谬说。 职是之故，个人挑取了12座寺庙，采取个案式的研究，研究结果不仅印证了寺庙兴衰历程正是地域社会变动过程，而且也发现每座寺庙流传的庙史有极多的错误，误导学者与一般大众，亟待一一釐清修正。个人希望假以时日，累积众多个案的研究，可以建构出更具整合性、系统性、理论性的通案著述与研究。更多还原

【Abstract】 The historical site is retention thing of human social development and the cultural activity, reflecting the life style of each era in each place concretely. Temple constitutes the most heavily thing in the historical site in Taiwan, and it is an important sign of the folk culture. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, batches of Fujian and Guangdong resident, crossed the sea and came to Taiwan to open up virgin soil, they brought the religious belief of the former township, setting up the temple at their resident place. These temples are not only the consolation and finding sustenance of immigrant’s spirit, but also transfer to be courage for the immigrant to overcome all kinds of difficulties and help each other. And in the localities, such as public security, industry, traffic, education, enjoying amusement because of friendship ties, and so on, all were carrying out through the temple.Most of temples in Taiwan had been extended at every era , it had not merely noting down the historical evolution and the orbit developing of the temple, but reflecting the rise and decline of changes in society, economy, politics, culture, community and so on at that time. We say that the historical site is valuable, most for its solidifying the history and noting down the truth. The history of temple is a mirror of the history of developing Taiwan. This kind of value can quote each other as proof with history of the characters, it can also revise the deviation the wrongly characters record too.I chose 12 temples among them, and make research one by one , the result of study has not merely confirmed the rise and decline course of the temple. And I find that there were many mistakes in the spreading temple history and mislead the scholar and general masses, so they demand urgently the clarification of every case. I hope I can accumulate numerous of research cases some day, maybe it can make my theory more constructing, svstemaUzation and theoretical.更多还原
