清代临水夫人信仰是福建女性信仰体系的重要组成部分。论文以福建古田临水宫为切入点，详细爬梳官书、方志、小说等多种史料，结合碑刻、戏本、对联等田野调查资料，认为临水夫人宫庙既提供了专门的女性信仰空间，又在一定程度上限制了女性的信仰活动。在此基础上，论文探究了清代临水女神信仰受到福建女性推崇的原因。主观上，临水夫人的“灵应”得到了福建妇女的青睐，也给女性信众带来了亲密感；客观上，临水夫人信仰满足了女性信众医疗、求子、生育等客观需要，妇孺保护神的身份符合官方伦理要求。此外，世俗小说的流行、道教人士推动、福建妇女劳动传统的影响，共同促成了临水夫人信仰在清代福建女性信众中的兴盛。总体而言，在清代福建妇女中盛行的临水夫人信仰一方面巩固了社会性别秩序，仍然将女性限制于家庭的属性中，但另一方面又强化了女性信众与社会整体、宗族村落、女性群体的连结感，创造了独属于清代福建女性自己的信仰空间。

In view of the background that the belief of the Lady of Linshui was an important part of Fujian women's belief system in the Qing Dynasty, this paper combs various historical materials such as official documents, local chronicles, novels, and combines field research materials such as drama scripts, inscriptions on tablets, couplets, and takes the Linshui Palace in Gutian, Fujian Province as the entrance, and finds that Gutian Linshui Palace not only provides a special space for women's belief, but also limits women's belief activities. On this basis, the reason why the belief in the the Lady of Linshui in the Qing Dynasty was highly praised by Fujian women is that subjectively, the miraculous response of the Lady of Linshui was favored by Fujian women, and the belief in the Lady of Linshui also brought a sense of intimacy to female believers; Objectively speaking, the belief in the Lady of Linshui met the objective needs of female believers such as medical treatment, unfulfilled desire for a child, and midwifery. The identity of the protector of women and children met the official ethical requirements, and the popularity of secular novels, the influence of Taoist figures and the tradition of women's labor in Fujian jointly contributed to the prosperity of Lady Linshui belief among female believers in the Qing Dynasty. Overall, the belief in the Lady of Linshui, which was prevalent among Fujian women in the Qing Dynasty, not only consolidated the social gender order and still trapped women in the attributes of the family, but also strengthened the connection between female believers and the overall society, village members, and female groups, giving Fujian women a belief space only for themselves.
