苦芦湾人:一个回民家族的记忆与认同

KuLuWan People:the Memory and Identity of a Hui Muslim's Lineage

苦芦湾是一个被数万人所铭记的地方,从明初到清末,一个回民家族世居于此。同治年间为躲避杀戮,这个自称"苦芦湾人"的家族逃离苦芦湾,分散到甘、青、新、宁、蒙等地。虽然此后苦芦湾只是一个遥远的地理记忆,但长期围绕保护祖坟和上坟等活动,"苦芦湾人"的认同维系至今。在群体文化自觉的当下,"苦芦湾人"已着手书写历史记忆并成立寻根组织。苦芦湾人是一个认知西北回民家族文化、祖先文化的绝佳案例。

Kuluwan was a place by tens of thousands of people remembered, from the early Ming dynasty to late Qing dynasty; a Hui lineage lived this area. To escape massacre in Tongzhi periods, this lineage of selfpro claimed＂ Kuluwan People＂ escaped from Kuluwan to Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Ningxia, Neimenggu, etc. Although now Kuluwan just a distant geographic memory, the identical maintenance of ＂Kuluwan people＂ up until today through activities of protecting graves and visiting graves. In the cultural consciousness context, ＂Kuluwan People＂ has begun writing historical memory and set up roots organization. ＂Kuluwan People＂ is an excellent example of contriving Hui lineage culture and ancestry culture.
