從神殿、英靈到蟻丘：沙巴拿督公信仰的多樣實踐

Temple Shrine, Heroic Spirit and Anthill: Diverse Practices of Datuk Gong Cult in Sabah

本文採用非華人視角探討馬來群島的拿督公（Datuk Gong）信仰，結合文獻及田野材料談論拿督公在馬來西亞沙巴州（Sabah）瓜拉班尤縣的多樣實踐。當地的社會脈絡跳脫過去研究的西馬本位，唯信徒和拿督公一樣，擁有多重文化背景，也創造了屬於當地特色的在地信仰。此外，本文也從語言學和沙巴原住民信仰的角度，去比較及分析「拿督」作為馬來人原始信仰的理論。

This study analyses the Datuk Gong cult of Malay Archipelago from the non-Chinese perspective. It discusses the diverse practices of the Datuk Gong cult in Kuala Penyu district, in Sabah (Malaysia) by comparing fieldwork and literature materials. The social context of the field site differs from West Malaysia, which past research has focused on. Similar to the origin of Datuk Gong, the worshipers have multiple cultural backgrounds, and they have created the practices of cult, which is unique to Kuala Penyu. In addition, this article also analyzes the hypothesis that “Datuk” worship is the original Malay belief from the perspectives of linguistics and Sabah native belief.
