“寻根祭祖”游的人类学解读:中国传统魂魄观的仪式化

An Anthropolgical Analysis on the Travel of "Searching the Origin and Sacrificing the Ancestors":the Ritualization of the Chinese Traditional Outlook on Soul

本文从文化人类学的角度,对"寻根祭祖"游的文化内核——中国传统魂魄观中的"魂魄"、"鬼神"、"根"、"祖"进行了内涵的梳理,在辨析了"寻根祭组"仪式化命题中关于"仪式—仪式化"、"游—仪式化"两对关系的基础上,进一步指出这一社会经济现象本质上是中国传统魂魄信仰文化的仪式化呈现,从而提出了一种来自于旅游者精神世界的"寻根祭祖"游的内驱力诠释。

From the perspective of the cultural anthropology, the paper analyzes the cultural core＂soul＂, ＂ghost and god＂, ＂root＂, ＂ancestor＂ in the Chinese traditional soul outlook on the travel of ＂searching the origin and sacrificing the ancestors＂ （TSOSA）. Based on the analysis of the relationship between the concepts about ＂rite-ritualization＂ and ＂travel-ritualization ＂, the paper further points out that this social and economic phenomenon is in essence a ritualized manifestation of Chinese traditional soul faith culture, thereby proposing the inherent motivation of TSOSA from tourists＇ spiritual world exploration.
