彝族丧礼的礼物馈赠研究——以威宁县浆子林村为例

A Study of the Presenting of Gift by the Yi at Funerals:Taking the Jiangzilin Village in Weining as an Example

彝族的很多活动伴随礼物馈赠,如节日,婚礼、丧礼等,但馈赠内容、规则、意义在不同活动有差别。本文从象征人类学的角度分析彝族丧礼的礼物馈赠背后的意义,有利于进一步了解彝族社会文化互动和重视各民族的礼物馈赠理论。

Many activities by the Yi people are related with the ritual of presenting gift, such as festivals, wedding ceremony, and funeral, but there are differences in what gifts to give, how to give and the significance of such a ritual. The present paper studies the meaning of the presenting of gift by the Yi people at the funerals they held in the perspective of Symbolic Anthropology, which is beneficial for people to understand further the interaction of the Yi in their social and cultural activities and know the theory on this ritual by different ethnic groups.
