侗族女性对刺绣的情感与认知——立足于三江县同乐乡的艺术人类学考察

The Female Dongs' Sensibility and Cognition on Embroidery

在侗族的传统社会里,侗族女性人人会刺绣、做侗衣,刺绣是衡量女性贤淑、勤劳的重要指标,也是男性择偶的标准之一。而随着现代生活的发展变迁和生活水平的提高,不同年龄群的女性对刺绣有不同的情感和认知,男性群体不再看重侗族刺绣这一手工艺,对传统习俗有了新的理解。年轻的侗族女性不会刺绣,但是所有的侗族女性仍坚持祖先的传统习惯,在特殊的场合和重大节日穿侗衣进行社交,并认为这是民族身份认同的标志。

In the traditional society of the Dongs, every female knew embroidery and made the Dongs＇ clothes. Embroidery was an important indicator to judge whether a female was virtuous, and hard-working or not,and was also one of the criteria by which whether a male chose the female to marry to or not. However,with the development and changes of modern life and the increase of living standards,the female Dongs at different ages have different sensibility and cognition on embroidery. The male Dongs do not value embroidery any longer. They have a new understanding of embroidery. The young female Dongs do not know embroidery,but all the female Dongs adhere to the traditional customs of wearing the Dongs＇ clothes on special occasions and in important holidays. They think this is a sign of national identity .
