中研院民族所第一任所長凌純聲在其「中國古代龜祭文化」論文中指出,今天台灣的紅龜文化,來自閩南沿海,對早期先民,口腹需求最為首要,人在世愛吃龜肉,死後亦然,活龜遂成為與三牲、五牲等量齊觀的祭祀品,台灣早年也用活龜祭祀,儀式完成後將之放走,但後來活龜不易取得,麵龜等各種替代品才出現。
In a paper entitled "Turtle Worshipping in Ancient China," Ling Chun-sheng, the first director of the Institute of Ethnology of the Academia Sinica, wrote that Taiwan's dough turtle tradition comes from the southern Fujian coast. For early Han settlers in Taiwan, putting food on the table was most important. Since people enjoyed eating turtle meat in the here and now, they figured it shouldn't be any different in the hereafter. Turtles joined oxen, sheep and pigs as one of the animals most commonly used as offerings in ceremonies honoring ancestors. At first living turtles were used in these ceremonies. After the ceremonies they would be released. But later, when it became hard to find living turtles, turtles made from flour and all kinds of other substances began to be used in their place.
