城隍廟 - 中正區 (Chenghuang Temple - Zhongzheng District)


臺灣省城隍廟是一間主祀城隍的廟宇,位於中華民國臺北市中正區的武昌街。1945年10月25日於現址恢復公開祭祀 1947年11月重興現況迄今。原先,在台北市漢口街一帶有廟,奉祀台北府城隍,稱為「臺北府城隍廟」。台灣日治時期,城隍廟因故被拆。在二次大戰結束後,善信在武昌街重興「臺灣省城隍廟」,除了主祀「敕封昇福明靈王台灣省城隍尊神」,另外也奉祀觀音、濟公等神祇。 台灣現有的城隍信仰是道教結合佛教與儒教的民間信仰。城隍是唯一有階級之分的台灣主要神祇,一開始,階級封號皆沿習明太祖洪武二年所敕封頒定。洪武二年(1369年),封帝都金陵城隍为「福明灵王」,汴州、濠州、鳩州、和州、滁州等朱元璋「龍興之地」城隍亦封为正一品王爵。其余城隍各賜爵位:府城隍为二品威灵公、州城隍为三品灵祐侯;县城隍为四品显祐伯。。 不過,洪武三年(1370年),朱元璋即取消城隍爺之爵位,僅稱為某府、州、縣、城隍之神。 明朝以後,民眾一般把城隍歸為下列幾類:都、府城隍(公爵,威靈公):掌管省或府。州城隍(侯爵,綏靖侯 或 靈佑侯):掌管州。縣城隍(伯爵,顯佑伯):掌管縣。


Cheng Huang( Chinese: “Wall and Moat”) also known as Chenghuang Shen, in Chinese mythology, the City God, or the spiritual magistrate and guardian deity of a particular city. Because dead spirits reputedly informed the god of all good and evil deeds within his jurisdiction, it was popularly believed that devout prayers offered in Cheng Huang’s temple would be liberally rewarded
