全文聲明如下:
臺南孔廟為全臺首學,承載臺灣尊孔崇儒的歷史文化與禮制傳統。孔廟大成坊外設有下馬碑,彰顯歷代對至聖先師孔子的敬重;依循傳統禮制,文武官員至此皆應下馬,以示尊崇。
關於今日山邊媽祖神轎進入臺南孔廟一事,臺南市孔廟文化基金會特此說明,本次活動事前未向基金會提出申請,亦未進行任何溝通或討論。活動當日,抬轎及相關人員未與售票處同仁詢問確認,即直接進入孔廟園區,甚至進入大成殿聖域,已違反臺南孔廟尊孔崇禮的傳統禮制及場域管理原則。相關過程未經事前協調,使孔廟無法事前說明園區進入規範與禮制要求。
臺南市孔廟文化基金會尊重各宮廟的信仰傳統與民俗文化,也理解遶境活動所承載的地方情感與信眾心意。然而,臺南孔廟作為祭祀至聖先師之聖域,其空間使用與相關禮制有應遵循的規範。基於尊孔傳統及維護孔廟園區整體場域莊嚴之考量,未來各類宮廟神轎、遶境及相關宗教活動,均不開放進入臺南孔廟園區範圍,敬請各界理解與支持。
期盼各界在尊重不同信仰與民俗文化的同時,共同珍惜臺南珍貴的歷史文化資產,讓傳統禮制與多元文化在相互理解中延續。
