英文摘要:Ba-gong belief is the most widespread and long-established tradition in Neipu Hakka area. As a guardian and god of agriculture, Ba-Gong has been a great blessing for Hakka people living in Neipu Shiang. Meiho village is a typical Hakka village, which consists of two smaller villages: chung-hsin-lun and Lo-ching-chuan. According to the elderly people, Ba-Gong, symbolized by a rock, was set up by the pioneers as a village Deity in Chung-hsin-lun around the Kang-His and Yung-Cheng periods. Since then, the first Ba-Gong, located in the southern part of the village, has become the worshipping center of Chung-hsin-lun for almost three hundred years. In every spring, villagers pray for peace and blessings; and in winters, they giver thanks for the given peace and blessings. During the rituals of praying, the villagers have to prepare a whole pig or a whole sheep as offerings to Ba-Gong. Although both groups of people (Chung-hsin-lun and Lo-ching-chuan) worship Ba-Gong, they have different rituals and religious characteristics. The main purposes of this study were to explore the meaning and characteristics of Ba-Gong belief in Meiho village and to understand the different worshipping rituals between these two groups of people. In order to gather more comprehensive and accurate information, the researchers used a variety of methods to collect data including written documents, field studies and interviews with the elderly villagers. By tracing back to the time of pioneers in Neipu area, the researchers also tried to understand the history of Ba-Gong belief. The results are as follows: 1.

The hero Wei-Jie Tseng of chung-hsin-lun is also worshipped together with the rituals of Ba-Gong. 5. The gods of companion were set up for Ba-Gong.
