生态人类学视域下传统知识的价值研究——基于鄂西来凤县兴安村的田野调查

Researches on the Value of Traditional Knowledge with the View of Ecological Anthropology:Based on Field Works in Xing'an Village,Laifeng County in the Western Hubei Province

传统知识对于乡土社区的生产生活有着重要作用。基于兴安村的田野调查发现,在长期的生存实践基础上,村民们围绕着特殊的自然环境形成了一套地方性的传统知识,表现为特殊的知识认知、信仰禁忌及行为规则的有机统一体。它不仅指导着村民们的日常生活,加强了村民的自我保护意识,还有意无意地维护着当地生态系统的良性运行,对于社区的存续具有重大意义。

Traditional knowledge is of great importance in daily life of rural community.Our field works in Xing＇an County happened to find that,based on their life practices,those villagers have formed an array of local traditional knowledge which appears to be an organized entity including particular cultural cognition,faith and taboo and action rules.Not only does such traditional knowledge guide the villagers＇ daily lives and stress on their security awareness,but also maintains the well function of local ecologic system and thus has a significant meaning towards the living development of the society.
