摘要:: 福建地处东南沿海，由于海洋渔业历来为其重要产业，海难也时有发生，所以，自古便有众多的海神崇拜，其中又以妈祖崇拜为最重要的海神信仰。福建地方戏曲中历代都存有很多与海神信仰相关的剧目，这些剧目的中心人物主要以福建百姓历来尊奉的海神妈祖与陈靖姑为主。与海神信仰相关的戏曲演出主要为在特定场合的宗教酬神演剧。这些都充分反映了福建古代地方戏曲与海神信仰的密切关系。

Abstract:: Fujian is located in the southeast coast of China, and the marine fishery has always been one of its important industries. Because of this, shipwrecks happen from time to tome, so since the ancient times Fujian people have worshipped many sea-gods, with Mazu as the most important. Fujian local operas in the past dynasties had many plays related to sea-god worship, Mazu and Chen Jinggu being the main characters in most of those plays. Sea-god related opera performances were given on special occasions to show people’s gratitude. This well reflects that the ancient local operas in Fujian were closely related to seagod belief.
