粤北英德地区流行曹主信仰，其演变与发展的动力来自客家移民和航运商业，曹主信仰的传播路径也与客家移民和航运商业迁徙方式紧密相关；以水上传播为主、陆上传播为辅。从曹主信仰神话的形成、传播和系统化的过程可见，曹主信仰与地方信仰之间经历了接触、冲突、融合的过程，其反映的是信仰主体之间的关系互动。曹主信仰及其神话系统的产生、发展过程实际上是以民间信仰系统为代表的客家移民文化本地化过程。此一过程突现出了客家文化的开放性和包容性。

Caozhu Niangniang is a regional belief in Northern Guangdongˊs Yingde area. Its change and development were driven by Hakka immigration and inner river transportation business on the North River;so that the belief spread primary through the water-ways as well as land roads. Caozhu Belief and other beliefs went through the process of contact,conflict and syncretization,according to its myth systemˊs development. This process is a projection of the local interest groupsˊinteraction and negotiation history for power. This article attempts to reveal that the start,growth,systemization and localization of the belief are actually symbolic representations of Hakka populationˊs immigration and localization process. Such history shows the Hakka cultureˊs openness and inclusiveness.
