提要/Abstract

提要： 《錢神志》是明末遺民李世熊編集的一部彙聚歷代貨幣知识与文化的專書，其中所引錄之明前雜著、筆記等志怪故事，蘊含了豐富而深刻的宗教元素與內涵。《錢神志》中專有「冥賂」一節，描寫了陽世之人與陰府官吏的結交故事，類如通幽入冥、賄賂冥吏、陰司舞弊等種種現象紛繁呈現。金錢至上的拜物觀念下，道德與信仰不再是評判生死福禍的主要依據。這些虛幻詭譎的事相背後，既反映出古人對宗教世界的想像與理解，也傳遞了人們對現世亂相的痛斥與無奈情緒。

關鍵字: 《錢神志》；冥賂；李世熊

Abstract: Records of the Money God is a specialized work compiled by the late-Ming loyalist Li Shixiong,gathering knowledge and cultural materialsabout currency throughout history.The pre-Ming miscellaneous writings,notes,and tales of the strange cited within it contain rich and profound religious elements and connotations.The work includes a specific section on “Bribing the Netherworld”, which depicts stories of interactions between the living and officials of the underworld.Phenomena such as journeying to the netherworld,bribing netherworld officials,and fraud in the underworld courts are variously presented.Under the money-worshipping fetishism that places currency above all else,morality and faith are no longer the primary basis for judging life,death, fortune, or misfortune.Behind these illusory and bizarre phenomena lies both a reflection of the ancient imagination and understanding of the religious world and an expression of people’s condemnation and sense of helplessness towards the chaotic realities of their time.
