中文摘要：

宗教空间的变化能反映出宗教文化景观与地理环境相互作用所彰显的社会文化空间意涵。通过文献分析，对清代佛山镇“万真观”向“城隍庙”空间变化的现象进行研究，并揭示其变化所意涵的城市发展和社会文化意义。研究表明，从清代佛山镇万真观到城隍庙的宗教空间变化，折射了佛山镇由“乡村”到“城市”空间意义的转变，这种变化不仅是城市经济繁荣、人口激增的推动，更与行政治所诉求和“城市”身份的认同有密切关系，而且佛山城隍庙的“草根性”还凸显了清代佛山镇的政权、族权和神权的社会特征。

英文摘要：

Changes in religious space often reflect socio-cultural spatial meanings which are manifested by the interaction between religious cultural landscape and geographical environment. By analyzing the historical literature, the paper studies the phenomena of the spatial change of Wanzben Taoist Temple and City God Temple in Foshan town during the Qing Dynasty, and reveals the implications of city development and socio-cultural significance brought about by the change. The author considers that the changes occurred in the religious spaces of the Wanzhen Taoist Temple and the City God Temple in Foshan Town during the Qing Dynasty have mirrored a transformation of Foshan from the ＂rural＂ to the ＂urban＂ in terms of spatial meanings. Driven by the prosperity of the urban economy and the vast increase of population, the transformation was more closely associated with administrative needs and Foshan＇s identification with the ＂urban＂ and also became an indicator of the great power of folk religions in Foshan, into the categories of which the institutionalized religions were eventually integrated.
