Life is the Carrier of History:Folk Beliefs and Individual Life——Taking the Ritual of Bodhisattva Statue Exhibition in Gaochunshu Village in Nanjing City,Jiangsu Province for Example

个体与民间信仰的关系,经典民族志中除了对主宰和掌控仪式的个体(如酋长、巫师、大仙等)着墨较多外,其他参与的民众则鲜有提及。在江苏省南京市高淳叔村,通过亲属关系与国家权力关系网络的博弈,村落中的每一个个体都与当地的信仰体系息息相关,并起着不可或缺的作用。对高淳叔村的一次民间信仰仪式的描述可以展现当下中国江南农村在国家政治权力以及市场经济洗礼的大背景下村民民间信仰的日常实践和历史传统与个体生命的关联。

Based on the fieldwork conducted in Shucun, a village in Gaochun County, this article focuses on the relationship be-tween individual lives and folk belief systems including Emperor Cishan, Mazu, God of Land, God of Wealth, etc. Through the story of Wang Jiakuan and the villagers＇ performance in the village ritual procession, I intend to show the impact of kin-ship on the boundary of village power structures and how each person is involved in the community folk belief as well as how folk belief is connected with everyone＇s fate.
