金沙江河谷傣族泼水节的历史记忆与文化认同

Historical Memory and Cultural Identity of the Dai's Water-sprinkling Festival in the Jinsha River Valley

金沙江河谷的傣族生活在傣族核心区以外,这里山高谷深,山川阻隔,形成相对封闭的地理环境,在原始宗教信仰基础上形成的节日多与生产生活密切相关,虽然没有统一的泼水节,但许多节日都与水有着密切的关系,在体现民族主体特征的民族服饰、民族语言迅速消失的今天,有必要在现有节日的基础上,整合相关节日,确定一个能为广大金沙江河谷傣族接受,节日形式又能为傣族同胞普遍认同的"泼水节",来提振民族精神、突出民族特点、传承民族文化、加强民族的聚合力,让金沙江河谷的傣族重新焕发出活力。

The Dai people in the Jinsha River Valley which has high mountains and deep valleys are far away from the core Dai-inhabited area.Due to the relatively closed geographical location,the Dais in this area have their festivals closely related to their primitive religion,lifestyle and production.Nowadays,though they do not celebrate a shared Water-sprinkling Festival,many of their festivals are closely related to water.The paper holds that when the ethnic costumes,ornaments and languages are disappearing fast today,it is necessary to create a Water-sprinkling Festival accepted by the Dais in this area by integrating all the relevant festivals in order to enhance their ethnic spirit and traits,inherit their fine tradition,strengthen their cohesive force for resuming their vitality.
