回族先贤传说讲述活动的表演分析——以宁夏韦州《海太师传说》为例

The Analysis of Hui People’s Narrative Activities about Their Sages from the Perspective of Performance: Taking Folktale about Master Hai Spread in Weizhou, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region as an Example

笔者从"表演"的视角出发,通过对宁夏韦州回族海太师传说的三个口头文本的民族志考察,展示了这一传说不同文本的动态形成过程,指出不同语境下讲述者与观众的互动最终塑造了形态各异的传说文本,讲述者的讲述倾向是造成传说文本变异的重要原因。在同一社区中,先贤传说的核心母题会保持稳定,它是传说得以被记忆并被再创造的语料库,传说口头文本的变异有一定的限度。

From the perspective of performance,the author demonstrates the dynamic forming process of the different versions of Folklore about Master Hai through the ethnographic study of its three oral versions. The author points out that the various versions are finally shaped by the interactions between the narrator and the audience and the inclina- tion of the narrator has a big say in version changes. In the same community, as the corpus to be memorized and re--cre- ated, the core motif of sage folktales will keep stable and the changing of the oral versions will be limited.
