磕头拜年、集体仪式与社会整合--基于豫北农村拜年仪式的实证分析

KOWTOWING,COLLECTIVE RITUALS AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION:AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS TO THE NEW YEAR CEREMONY IN RURAL AREAS OF NORTHERN HENAN PROVINCE

随着村庄共同体联结纽带的减弱,集体仪式在乡村社会整合中的重要性愈加凸显。磕头作为豫北农村地区新年时节重要拜年仪式,被赋予了特定的文化内涵与社会功能。通过磕头仪式,村庄内的新人群体获得了准入资格,实现了自我身份的重新建构;同时,个体习得了社会规范与地方性知识且加以内化,实现了对村庄共同体的认同;拟亲式社会关系网络在代际间进行传递,彰显出村庄内部的等级关系。经由磕头拜年这一集体仪式的实践,实现了集体仪式、村民的日常生活世界和村庄社会整合之间的有效联结。

With the weakening of bonds in village community, the importance of collective rituals in rural social integration has become even more prominent. As one of the important ceremonies during New Year's Eve in the rural areas of northern Henan,kowtowing is endowed with a specific cultural connotation and social function. Through the kowtowing ceremony, the "new" groups of village obtain access to qualification and achieve a reconstructed self-identity in New Year's Day. At the same time, the individuals acquire and internalize social norms and local knowledge to achieve the village community identity; the intimacy of the social relation network is transmitted in the inter-generations, highlighting the hierarchy within the village. The practice of collective rituals by kowtowing during the New Year establishes a relationship between the collective ritual and the daily life of the villagers and the social integration of the villages effectively.
