興安省憲天后宮設立家族與數量考察

Investigating the Number and the Parentage Building Thien Hau Temples in Pho Hien Hung Yen

越南庯憲（今屬於興安省）天后信仰是由移居越南興安省的華人所帶來，目前對於該省的天后信仰已有相當的研究成果。不過，對於主導建築該天后宮的確切族群與人員，至今學界莫衷一是。目前較普遍的說法是由14個華人家族出資籌建，也有學者主張是由40個華人家族所集資興建，亦有學者持完全不同的意見。無論何種說法，至今學者們皆未提出任何證據證實其論點，遂使此議題至今仍存在不小爭議。因此，本文企圖從興安省的兩座天后宮相關文獻、當地寺廟的碑文，以及華人家族的碑文進行考察，從而進一步探討、了解當時籌建天后宮的家族與數量。

The belief of Thien Hau worship in Pho Hien Viet Nam (which is now a part of Hung Yen City) is started by Chinese immigrants to Pho Hien. Current literature reveals some findings related to this Thien Hau worship’s belief in this place. Yet, there are many debates about the pioneers and the starting time. While one relatively common and widely accepted opinion is the contribution of 14 Chinese emigrant parentages, another opinion suggests the presence of 40 parentages, even still have some scholars negated these two opinions. Notably, when holding relevant discussions, Vietnamese scholars are generally unable to provide specific evidence, leading to unceasing debates. By investigating the epitaph materials from two Thien Hau temples in Hung Yen and epitaphs of Chinese emigrant parentages, the study expects to examine and discuss the number and the parentage building temples at that time.
