传统的保持与再塑——关于白音敖包祭祀组织的观察与思考

Inheriting and Reshaping Tradition——on Bayin Oboo's ritual organization

白音敖包是东乌珠穆沁旗最大、最具影响力的敖包祭祀,具有悠久的历史。连续几年就东乌珠穆沁白音敖包祭祀及其组织进行了专项的田野调查,发现在不同时期、不同组织者的主导下,白音敖包的传统在得到保持的同时,始终被再塑并给予"合理"的阐释。从白音敖包祭祀的跟踪调查来看,传统的保护并不仅仅是对传统的形态或者具体符号的保护,更重要的是对传统文化再生产空间的保护。

Bayin Oboo is the biggest and the most influential Oboo of the East Wuzhumuqin Banner in Inner Mongolia.The author conducted field investigation on the rituals and organization of Bayin Oboo in the last two years and observed that the Bayin Oboo＇s tradition has been inherited and reshaped by its believers under different circumstances.Along with the changes,traditional interpretations as well as new reasonable explanations have been given to such changes.Based on this observation,the author argued that we should not only inherit the traditional symbolic rituals,but also pay more attention to the reproduction space of traditional culture in the protection of the tradition.
