仪式叙事的原型结构——以瑶族“还盘王愿”仪式为例

Archetype Structure of Ritual Narration——Case Study on "Huan Pan Wang Yuan" Rite of the Yao People

治民族研究,民族叙事中"结构"必然是民族志的核心问题;而族源性纪念和祭祀仪式不仅成为一个民族叙事、表述和传承的"原生形式",而且具有与众不同的特质。故以瑶族的"还盘王愿"祭祀仪式为例,借用人类学仪式理论,对瑶族仪式叙事的"根范式"进行分析;试图证明:任何一个民族重要的代表性仪式都存着特定的"原型结构",它既是存在,也是叙事,更是本色。

＂Structure＂ in the ethnic administration study and ethnic narration is definitely the core issue of ethnography. Ethnic origin commemoration and sacrificial rite are not only the ＂primary form＂ of ethnic narration, expression and inheritance, but also of unique characteristics. Therefore, this paper, taking ＂Huan Pan Wang Yuan＂ sacrificial rite of the Yao people as an example, analyzes ＂cardinal paradigm＂ of the Yao ritual narration with anthropological ritual theory. It attempts to demonstrate that every important representative ethnic ritual has its own unique ＂archetype structure＂ which is existent, narrative, and natural.
