川南“盐工号子”的社会及艺术功能价值

A Study of the Social and Aesthetic Functions and Values of Salt Workers' Work Song in South Sichuan

"盐工号子"作为川南地区特有的一种民歌体裁,有着自己鲜明的艺术特色与历史价值。它是川南盐业劳动人民创造的宝贵遗产,是长期共同劳动中的集体精神造物,具体体现了社会下层劳动人民的阶级情感和艺术情趣。其存在与发展有着深刻的内在原因,作为人类文化史上的一种"艺术形态",除却它表面的"审美价值"之外,在社会过程中,确实曾作为人类劳动的"生产工具",直接参与过人类的生产活动,参与过社会物质财富的生产创造。对川南特定盐业环境下的"号子"进行社会功能与价值透析,揭示其本体既具有社会物质财富的创造的功能与价值,同时又作为劳动阶级的精神产品之二重性为旨归;其艺术功能及价值分析,为参透浮于"盐工音乐"表层的艺术审美功用及文化遗存价值作引导。
