从丧葬礼俗看客家文化的中原烙印

The Middle-China Remains from Hakka Funeral Culture

文化意识是人类在生活实践中经验与智慧的积淀,在很大程度上对于人们的思想、行为、心理等起着调节和规范的作用。但客家以族群式迁徙,聚族自保使中原文化意识的承传因素一直在客家文化中起着主导作用。客家民间丧葬礼俗深深留存中原烙印,丧葬礼俗是依托生存自然环境或族群共同心理观念、基于人类对自身生命的尊重、围绕生命终结而建立和运用的文化,是族群文化意识的重要外在表现。客家丧葬礼俗是对生死观念和丧葬习俗本质含义的完整表现。较之其它习俗更充分、更完整地保存了中原文化原素。

Culture consciousness is the accumulation of human experiences and human wisdom,and it is adjusts and restrains people′s mind,action and mentality.But Hakkas used to move and live with groups.Live together and defend themselves is the way of their life,so the inheritable middle-Chinese culture consciousness is the most important thing of Hakaness culture and makes greatest effects.The Hakka popular funeral rites keep middle-Chinese historical remains seriously.Funeral rites is the culture that is dependent on the natural enviroment of living or race group′s common mental sense,is based on human′s conduct with dignity for their own lives,and is the important expression of race group′sculture consciousness.Hakka funeral rites is the complete expression of death sense and the funeral custom′s essence.It keeps middle Chinese cultural parts more completely than other customs.
