六堆忠義祠的場所精神：以古典詩為研究中心

The Place Spirit of Liudui Zhongyi Temple: Focusing on Classical Poetry

六堆忠義祠位於中堆竹田鄉西勢村，是官方敕建的祭祀中心，也是六堆客家人的精神指標，代表忠、義的典型意義。其在家鄉地景中被視為神聖場所，因此過去成為六堆詩文中常歌詠的對象。本文透過相關古典詩的整理與探討，得出結果：一、忠義祠古典詩的作者以六堆人士為主，他們對於忠義祠的歷史定位、興衰存廢有一份傳承的使命感；二、不同時期的詩作呈顯各自的關注重點；三、在忠義祠這個地景書寫上，詩人大多具有共同的價值觀，不只是當代的價值意涵，還包括在歷史敘述中的價值意義。從歷代詩人筆下，顯示其對六堆義民的緬懷崇敬，更呈現忠義祠在他們心中的分量；因此，六堆人士的團結互助、齊心協力，正是六堆忠義祠至今屹立不搖、精神永存之關鍵。
