云南西部阿昌族巫蛊文化视野中的婚姻与家庭

Marriage and Family in the Perspective of the Belief in Witchery and "Gu" of Achang Ethnic Minority Living in Western Yunnan

云南西部阿昌族村寨普遍存在着有关"放歹"的民间信仰。对阿昌族来说,"歹"似乎是村寨不可缺少的东西,他们认为"歹"会保佑村寨的平安,哪个村寨没有"歹"的话就不会致富。但另一方面,人们又谈"歹"色变,平日里不敢和会"放歹"的人进行交往,婚配对象的选择更是要排除有"歹"人家的子女。由于受傣族的影响,阿昌族也迷信"披拍鬼"和"扑死鬼",并因此影响了族际通婚的进行。

Because of the limitation of the knowledge and the special circumstances, there is a wide spread belief in witchery and ＂Gu＂ in Aehang ethnic minority living in western Yunnan of China. Some of the Achang people believe that villagers＇ safe and health rely on blessings from ＂ Dai＂ , even a village cannot become rich without ＂ Dai＂ . Besides, the superstitions concerning the ＂Dai＂ , ＂Pipaigui＂ and ＂Pusigui＂ were often influencing their marriages and families. Achang villagers believe those families engaged in ＂Dai＂ , ＂Pipaigui＂ and ＂Pusigui＂ are hereditary forever. So son and daughter born in these families cannot marry to those born in other families.
