本文旨在探討五代十國時期南方王國官方祭祀政策下的城隍神信仰，十國地方政權延續自六朝中國南方既有的封神傳統，以大量名位收編轄境內的祠祀信仰，官方關注城隍神的層級，從地方官府向上提升至王國統治者。吳越國王錢鏐是本時期對城隍推崇備至的君主之一，他對城隍神的解釋與形塑，深深影響了後世對城隍的認知。城隍神受中晚唐民間社會與地方官府的崇拜與提倡，成為象徵資本雄厚，且合法性無虞的地方重神。錢鏐除借重城隍之主長久以來所累積的象徵權威區別己身為「正」，肯定其統治的正當性外，還透過為神請封一事拉攏地方勢力，獲得地方民眾的感激與愛戴，培植自身在當地的資本，將其統治從武力占領提升至精神層面的認同。在錢鏐等南方王國的推崇下，城隍神獲得國家賜封，成為國家認可的正祀神，神祇符號中被明確植入正統性的意涵，使之在宋代開國之初，能以出身南方地域神靈的身分躋身國家祀典，守護開封府及皇城城池之安危。

Officials pay attention to the level of the God of the City God, rising from the local government to the ruler of the kingdom. Qian Liu, the king of Wuyue, was one of the monarchs who highly respected the city god in this period. His interpretation and shaping of the city god deeply influenced the understanding of the city god in later generations. The God of the City God was worshipped and advocated by the civil society and local officials in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and became a local god with strong capital and no doubt of legitimacy. In addition to distinguishing himself as ＂right＂ and affirming the legitimacy of his rule by virtue of the symbolic authority accumulated by the Chongcheng God for a long time, Qian Liu also wooed local forces by requesting a seal for the god, and elevated his rule from military occupation to spiritual level. Under the respect of Qian Liu and other southern kingdoms, the city god was conferred by the state and became a state-recognized god of worship. The symbol of the god was clearly implanted with the meaning of orthodoxy, so that it could enter the state at the beginning of the Song Dynasty. Code to protect the security of the capital and the imperial city.
