手工造纸与客家族群文化研究——以“连城宣纸”为例

Hand-made Paper and the Culture of the Hakka People:A Case Study of "Xuan Paper of Liancheng Town"

纸的出现使传统文化得以发展和传播,为人类文明的传承提供载体。在全球化和现代化的时代背景下,在中国社会处于转型期的社会背景下,手工纸已经成为我们社会的"遗产",尽管如此,仍有一些人群与它发生千丝万缕的联系。福建的手工造纸自古有名,造纸业自宋代以来极为发达,从事手工造纸业的人群因为各种原因大都是居住在闽西山区的客家人。这种状况使手工造纸在闽西山区的发展过程中是重要的推动力量,给当地的经济社会文化发展带来了巨大的影响。"连城宣纸"是其中的典型个案。

The emergence of paper has helped culture and tradition develop and spread because paper is a carrier of human civilization.In the age of globalization and modernization when China is experiencing some social transformation,hand-made paper has become our social ＂heritage＂.However,there are still some social groups who are associated with hand-made paper.Since the Song dynasty,Fujian has been famous for its hand-made paper,and due to various reasons the Hakka people living in the mountains of west Fujian are the major group for making such paper.They have exerted great influence on the local social and economic development. ＂Xuan Paper of Liancheng Town＂ is a case in point.
