| 摘要: | 龍是中國人尊貴而奇特的吉祥物，它們捲起的蛇身、昂起的駝首、突起的兔眼、魚鱗、牛耳、鷹爪、虎掌、鹿角、蜃腹，其身影大量地出現在帝王器物與民間廟宇。它們不是祭祀的主神卻佔據廟宇明顯的位置，成為寺廟建築中不可或缺且具有積極價值的重要角色。 本論文試圖解釋龍意象及其應用源由，以文獻探討與田野調查等方法，蒐集分析龍裝飾藝術的演變，由山海經與龍生九子等神話龍探討，論及龍之分類，再佐以歷代應用在器物與建築上的龍紋為證，探討中國建築與繪畫之龍形風格，對照台灣寺廟中龍裝飾題材的表現形式、位置分析及題材根據，探知龍紋造型依其時代更迭演變之證據及寺廟中龍形的表現形式。 台南大天后宮中的龍意象及應用主要源於中國大陸，其龍形裝飾應用也發展出獨立特色，並發現到龍的形態在寺廟裡不會以單一樣貌出現，龍形大小不拘、形態多變，樣式活潑，龍可置於屋脊，可立於柱，飾以托木，雕於斜魁，螭龍團爐等各種型態在同一空間展現，理解到寺廟中龍裝飾藝術背後所隱含之空間美學思考、時代傳承及所蘊含的積極價值與功用，這篇論文便是對以上的特點加以著墨分析，希望形成台灣的龍學系統探討。 內文共分六部分：第一章為緒論；第二章探討古代龍形的起源、種類與造型；第三章探討寺廟中龍之表現、位置及題材分析；第四章為台南大天后宮之龍形意象、第五章為台南大天后宮之龍形應用的實例討論；第六章為結論。
