关于日军侵占桂林及周边地区的民间记忆——以广西灵川县定江乡为考察重点

Folk Reminiscence of Japanese Invasion of the Surrounding Areas of Guilin: A Study Based on Dingjiang of Lingchuan County

1944年日军为了打通大陆交通线,发动了豫湘桂战役。是年11月,桂林沦陷,至1945年7月日军撤出,日军侵占桂林及周边地区8个多月。桂林周边的村庄在此战中发挥了重要作用,也遭受了重大损失。许多民众由于亲身经历过桂林之战,有十分真切的感受,记忆独特、新颖,具有不可替代性,是评价此战重要而不可多得的依据。民间的历史记忆可归纳为"逃难"、"日军抢夺、破坏、屠杀"、"民众人性"、"日军败退"四个方面,这些记忆蕴含着丰富的历史信息。日军侵占桂林期间的民间历史记忆的保持方式应尽量多样化。

In 1944, the Japanese army launched battles in Henan, Hubei, Hunan and Guangxi for the pur- pose of breaking through the mainland transportation line. Guilin fell in November of 1944. It was not un- til July, 1945 that the Japanese army withdrew from Guilin. Japanese army occupied Guilin for over 8 months. The surrounding villages of Guilin played an important role in the battle but suffered heavy losses as well. Many people experienced the Anti-Japanese War in Guilin, and their memories are novel, unique and irreplaceable, which are rare evidence for evaluating the war. The folk historical reminiscence can be summarized into four types ： ＂escaping＂,＂Japanese plunder, destruction and killing＂, ＂human nature＂ and ＂Japanese retreat＂, all containing rich historical information. The ways of retaining folkhistoric reminis- cence of Japanese occupation of Guilin should be diversified.
