摘　　要：萧公信仰肇迹于江西新淦大洋洲,明清时期盛极一时。历史上萧公信仰的形成与新淦的自然环境、萧氏宗族密切相关。明代萧公神在与国家、地方社会之间的互动中获得两次国家加封赐号,使自身演变为国家正统神灵。伴随着萧公神地位的不断提高,其影响力与日俱增,萧公信仰开始对外传播,地域扩展的范围越来越广,最终萧公神成为民众广泛奉祀于江河湖泊的一位水神。Worship of Xiao Gong came into being in Dayangzhou,Xinjan of Jiangxi province and became prevalent during the Ming and Qing Dynasty. The temples where people worship were widespread all over thenation. The formation of worship of Xiao Gong during the history was closely related to the physical environment and clan of family whose surnames are Xiao. In the Ming dynasty,more titles were conferred onhim twice by the nation because of his contribution in the regional areas as well as the whole nation,thusmaking him become the orthodoxy spirit. Xiao Gong’s status was raised increasingly,his influence becoming stronger at the same time. The worship of Xiao Gong began to become widespread and the geographical areas where it spread became broader,finally making him a God of Water that the public honored in rivers and lakes.
