文化展演中的乡村社会--清末民初山西秧歌小戏与乡村社会生活

Culture Performing in Country Society:Yangko Opera and Country Society in Shanxi in the Late Qing and the Early Years of the Republic of China

近代以来,秧歌小戏广泛流行于山西各地乡村。相较于精英阶层参与的传统大戏,乡民创造的秧歌小戏与乡村社会的关系更为亲密。清末民初,山西各地秧歌小戏由于较少官方介入,更多地体现出民间文化与乡村社会的良性互动。这种互动不仅使秧歌小戏得到了乡村民众的广泛认可和支持,作为民间文化获得了丰富和发展,也生动展现了当时山西乡村社会生活的多元图景和乡民的思想情感。发掘秧歌小戏这种艺术形式背后的乡村社会和民众观念,是秧歌小戏研究的真正意义所在。
