家族的口传记忆与家族文化复兴——以陕北米脂G村为例

The Oral Memory and Cultural Renaissance of the Lineage ——Taking G Village in Mizhi County in Northern Shaanxi as an Example

文章以陕北地区的一个著名家族——艾氏家族为研究对象,以艾氏主姓村——G村为主要调查点,重点突出了口传记忆与家族复兴在现代化进程中家族文化构建中的重要意义。G村人正是通过反复的口头传述,才使得祖先的名字和事迹不断的传向了后世;在传统社会中,人们通常将家族看成了一个想象的共同体,认为它的内部是公式化了的、是同一的,而现代社会中人们的家族认同行为则是多种观念与意识交锋较量的综合结果。

This paper takes Ai Lineage, a renowned one in northern Shaanxi as the research object and takes G viilage, in which the surname of Ai occupies the dominate position in all of the surnames, as the major survey point, highlighting the significance of oral memory and lineage revival in the family culture construction in the process of modernization. The G villagers pass the ancestorg names and deeds from generation to generation in oral way. In the traditional society, a lineage is normally regarded as an imaginary community, and the inside of a lineage is for- mularized and homogeneous, whereas learned from the ideas of G village, the identity of people in their lineage is the comprehensive result of the clash of various conceptions and ideas in the modern society.
