民俗文化交融与中华民族共同体的形成——以蒙古族饮茶习俗为例

Blending of Folk Culture and the Formation of a Community for the Chinese Nation:Taking the Tea Drinking Customs of Mongolian People as an Example

中国作为统一多民族国家,在长期历史发展进程中各民族几乎都形成了本民族的民俗文化,汉族作为连接中国疆域内各民族的重要纽带,在同其他民族交流互动过程中,其民俗文化也被其他民族广泛引入并进行了新的发展,如饮茶文化被广泛传播并深深地影响到蒙古族。蒙古族饮茶习俗是元朝建立后开始出现并发展起来的,到了明清两代,饮茶成为蒙古族社会生活中不可或缺的重要组成部分,并在清代形成了蒙汉民俗文化交融背景下具有鲜明地域与民族特色的蒙古族饮茶习俗。蒙汉民族之间民俗文化的交融也体现出中华民族共同体的形成与发展过程,应充分发掘民俗文化在其中的历史作用,推进铸牢中华民族共同体意识。

China is a unified multiethnic country,and alongside its longstanding historical development,nearly all ethnic groups have formed unique folk cultures of their own. When exchanging and communicating with other ethnic groups,Han Chinese serves as the crucial bond that connects China ’s ethnic groups,and its folk cultures are extensively introduced to other ethnic groups,and are further developed. Among them,the tea drinking culture is widely spread,and has great influence on Mongolian people. The tea drinking customs of Mongolian people begin and develop after the establishment of Yuan dynasty;in Ming and Qing dynasty,drinking tea has become an indispensable part of Mongolian social life;and in Qing dynasty,tea drinking customs of Mongolian people have developed their unique regional and ethnic characteristics in the context of the integration of Mongolian and Han folk culture. The blending of Mongolian and Han folk culture also demonstrates the formation and development process of a community for the Chinese nation. We should fully explore the historical role of folk culture and push forward the fostering of a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.
