英文摘要:Originated from worship for earth, the belief of Bo Gong is widespread in Taiwan. Based on the belief of Bo Gong in old villages of Meinong, this thesis discuss the unique February Ritual and February Drama which formed and developed under the geographical structure such as landscape, hydrology, rain and climate. Local gentries participate in public affairs through the belief of Bo Gong and local organizations. How these gentries tried to seek the balance of Bo Gong belief, recognition of nationalities and societies in political situation and riots by the end of the period of Japanese Colonization is also discussed. Meinong village is built in an area surrounded by rivers. This predestined the long term structure that villagers have to confront the floods in their daily lives. Since the Ching Dynasty, family societies and legions have nurtured the fund and arm forces as props to develop the land. So, the basic units of development are families, which are also basic units of social operations. Under the structure, villagers have practiced their daily lives through the belief of Bo Gong, and the February Ritual has become the medium to agglomerate people. The February Ritual transmits villagers’ rely and fear toward water. It represents not only historical memories to define landmark, the exact ritual organization also demarcates the societies of Meinong. Besides, the Ritual has been a way for villagers to defy the unknown nature. Through participating in the Ritual, gentries rebuild local community network and transform their losses in times into a way to serve the publics.
