“岛夷卉服”、“织绩木皮”的民族考古新证

An Archaeological Study of Bark Cloth in Southern China

在汉文史籍中屡见的"岛夷卉服"、"织绩木皮"等奇特的服饰现象,反映了古代华夏、汉人话语中的"南蛮"或越、濮系土著的树皮布文化,与中原华夏的"衣冠"文化截然不同。在民族志上,台湾阿美族、云南傣族、海南黎族、越南Bru-Van Kieu人及太平洋西萨摩亚岛南岛语族中"残存"的树皮布制作工艺,再现了这一土著文化的内涵形态。在考古学上,树皮打布石拍的发现与编年研究,反映了树皮布文化从华南起源、向东南亚和太平洋群岛传播扩散的历史。

In ancient Chinese documents, there are a few records of bark cloth as Daoyi Huifu （ tree leaves cloth of island people） or Zhiji Mupi（ weaving bark of tree） in southem China. These represent a different type of cloth culture of aborigianl Bai Yue or Bai Pu ethnic groups from the perspective of the Han nationality. Ethnologists have found a series of bark cloth making techniques in aborigianl Ami group in Taiwan, Dai people in Yunnan, Li group in Hainan, Bin-Van Kieu in Vietnam and Austronesian in Pacific Samoa. The archaeologists have reconstructed the history of bark cloth spreading from southern China to Pacific archipelagoes by excavating and studying the stone bark beaters by the way of typology and chronology.
