十九世紀後期，伴隨著臺灣的開港通商，西方傳教士紛紛來到福爾摩沙島上從事宣教事業。在傳教士購地設堂或營建其他傳教設施的過程中，地方人士或因其建置地點妨礙陰陽宅居坐向或牴觸境域風水龍脈而群起抗拒，甚至引爆出各種風水反教的衝突事件。本文嘗試透過當時來臺傳教士的論著與各類相關的檔案，解析其看待傳統風水禁忌的基本態度，以及他們面對這類「入境隨俗」的壓力所採取的因應方式，藉此呈現在晚清臺灣教案頻傳的時空背景中，外來宗教文化與民間傳統習俗之間在價值取向上的差異或對立。

In the late nineteenth century, numerous western missionaries, following the ports opened to trade, came to Formosa to preach. The missionaries came across serious protests or even conflicts when the location they chose to build a church or facilities considered by the local people as blocking the directions of the residence and graves or the Feng-shui dragon veins of the area. This paper tries to investigate, through the books and documents of the missionaries, their attitudes toward Feng-shui taboos and how they coped with the request to ”do as the Romans do.” I wish to demonstrate the disparity or even conflicts between the cultures of foreign religion and folk custom in the late-Qing Taiwan, when religious clashes were often seen.
