中国古代鸟舟竞渡源流的史料取证及考辨——兼论中华竞渡文化起源与谱系

Evidence Collection and Research on the Historical Materials of Ancient Chinese Bird Boat Race——Also on the Origin and Pedigree of Chinese Boatrace Culture

运用历史考据法、文本分析法和谱系学等方法,从文物、文献、文化遗存等多维度证据资料的挖掘入手,考证了相关史料中“竞渡形象”的历史身份。研究认为,鸟舟竞渡也是中华竞渡文化谱系中不可或缺的重要组成部分,可以从自然环境、图腾崇拜、宗教信仰、祭祀习俗等与其生成有关的外围论据为其提供旁证。进一步分析还发现,古代鸟舟竞渡与现今凤舟竞渡之间存有潜在的演变关联,且其出现时间早于目前史料可证的龙舟竞渡。基于此,辩证地探讨了中华竞渡文化的历史起源与结构谱系,力图为讲清楚中华竞渡文化的发展脉络与基本走向提供一定的理论支撑与具体经验。
