“社”文化之于“地方”与“地方性”的人类学阐释

An Anthropological Study on “She” Culture Based on “Place” and “Locality”

在中国文化传统中,"社"文化意指土地、土地神及所衍生的一系列文化行为。"社"文化建构了宇宙、天地与人的认知系统,调整着自然、社会和个人之间的互动关系,同时通过土地、姓氏、村庙、祠堂等一系列公共象征符号及围绕符号展开的祭祀、庆典等仪式活动形成了特定群体的在地化知识体系和地方感,承载着认知的"地方"与人文的"地方"多重内涵与价值系统,倾向于促进理解而不是推进行动。

In traditional Chinese culture,＂She＂culture refers to the land,the God of land and a series of derived cultural behaviors. ＂She＂culture establishes the cognitive system of universe,world,nature and man. It contributes to the mutual integration among universe,society and individual. ＂She＂culture forms localized knowledge system and the sense of place for specific groups through such series of public symbols as land,surnames,temples,ancestral temple as well as sacrificing activities based on such symbols. Meanwhile,it embodies multiple connotations and values of cognitive ＂place ＂ and humanistic ＂place ＂,promoting understanding rather than action.
