侗族村落环境的文化认同——生态人类学视角的考察

Cultural Identity on Village Environment of Dong Nationality from Viewpoint of Ecological Anthropology

村落环境一方面受制于营建地的自然环境,是一种生态物理形式;另一方面,村落环境也是营建族群的一种文化选择和文化表达的方式与依托,是一个体现意义与象征功能的符号。侗族村落环境作为一种空间物理形态,其结构布局是按照侗族的生态观和文化观营建的。侗族村落环境中的田园、山水、林木、道路、村落、人家是一个整体,共同形成侗家人的生态观、生命观、文化观和族群认同,是文化认同的一种显在的传播方式和文化表达形式。

Restricted to local natural environment, village environment is a kind of ecological physical shape on one hand. It is also a kind of structure and symbol of cultural choice and cultural expression in the establishment of an ethnic group on the other hand. Being a kind of space physical shape, village environment of the Dong Nationality was constructed on basis of their ecological views and cultural views. The countryside, landscapes, forests, roads, villages, and houses in village environment of the Dong Nationality as a whole forms their ecological views, life views, cuhural views and ethnic identity. It is obviously a way of spreading cultural identity and a symbol of cultural expression.
