宋代江浙地区存在三大白龙母信仰圈，其中，平江府地区信奉阳山白龙母缪氏和海隅山白龙母蒋氏，镇江府地区信奉吴塘白龙母吴氏，而嘉兴府地区信奉的陈山白龙母身份较为模糊，宋人大多认为其与阳山白龙母缪氏为同一人。白龙母身份出现混淆，其原因在于此三地龙母传说的共通之处：女子感异孕龙、龙母生龙即亡及龙子均为世俗化的孝龙。无论白龙母的身份混淆与否，政府的态度都是“惟灵是信”。由此，反映出宋代江浙地区儒家文化盛行、水网密布和农业经济发达以及佛教兴盛的地域文化特色。%There are three belief circles about White Dragon Mother in Jiangsu-Zhejiang regions in Song Dynasty. In Pingjiang prefecture, people believe in Yangshan White Dragon Mother Miao and Haiyushan White Dragon Mother Jiang. Wutang White Dragon Mother Wu is worshiped in the area of Zhenjiang prefecture. People in Jiaxing prefecture believe in the god named Chenshan White Dragon Mother, whose identity is confused, and most people at that time regard it as Yangshan White Dragon Mother Miao. The reason of the confusion is that there are many similarities among the legends of White Dragon Mother:mysterious pregnancy, Dragon Mother’s death fate, and White Dragon’s secular and filial features. Whether their identities are confused or not, the attitude of the government is always “sacrifice only efficacious”. It reflects the cultural characteristics of the popular Confucianism, dense water routes, developed agricultural economy, and flourished Buddhism.
