ABSTRACT When many Chinese immigrants settled in the Malay peninsula in the late 19th century, they not only brought the patron gods of their homeland, but also created a new local patron deity – the alien Datuk Gong. Datuk Gong worship is a combination of Malay keramat and Chinese Bo Gong worship. Although usually regarded as a personal guardian spirit, Datuk Gong is also seen as a communal patron deity of some Chinese communities in Malaysia. Different communities shape their own images of the patron deity based on the social reality, especially that of ethnic groups in these communities. This article selects two Chinese communities in Malaysia, Broga in Negeri Sembilan and Machap Baru in Melaka, as examples of distinct types of Datuk Gong worship: Chinese spirit worship versus trans-ethnic saint worship. A comparative analysis of similar legends of Datuk Gong, and disparate rituals and development of the worship in the two communities indicates that Datuk Gong worship reflects the Chinese community’s understanding of the social reality they have experienced, and their response to changes in the social environment.

外星公共守护神

摘要 19 世纪后期,许多华人移民在马来半岛定居时,他们不仅带来了家乡的守护神,还创造了新的当地守护神——外星拿督公。拿督功崇拜是马来人敬拜与华人博功崇拜的结合。虽然通常被视为个人守护神,但拿督公也被视为马来西亚一些华人社区的公共守护神。不同的社区根据社会现实,特别是这些社区中的族群,塑造自己的守护神形象。本文选择马来西亚的两个华人社区,森美兰州的布罗加和马六甲的马查巴鲁,作为不同类型的拿督功崇拜的例子:华人精神崇拜与跨种族圣人崇拜。
