文化圈理论之下的青海河湟汉族求子风俗探析——以湟中县为个案研究

The Discussion about the Customs of Praying for Children in Han Areas of Qinghai Hehuang Based on the Theory of Cultural Circles——A Case Study of Huangzhong County

河湟文化圈中汉族一直是文化的主角之一,汉族入迁河湟地区后,在文化的叠加中生活在一个相对封闭的空间里。河湟汉族在重血缘的观念之下求子(尤其求生男孩)风俗较多,除传统汉族的文化因素外还有地缘影响,此观念对河湟世居他族也发生了文化涵化。本文以湟中县汉族为个案研究当下河湟人生仪礼、节庆民俗活动等方面的求子风俗,通过对湟中县的祈嗣民俗事象描述,认识文化圈文化涵化理论在文化建设中的作用。

Han has always been one of the leading nationalities in the Hehuang cultural circle. After moving to Hehuang area, Han has been living in a relatively closed space because of the laminated culture. Under the influence of Han traditional culture and the geographical factor, they attach importance to consanguinity so that there are many customs of praying for children, especially for sons, which has brought acculturation to other ethnic groups in Hehuang. Taking Han in Huangzhong County as a case, the paper explores customs of praying for children in Hehuang life ceremony and festival folk beliefs. By the description of those customs in Huangzhong, the paper reveals the influence of acculturation in cultural circles on cultural construction.
