神圣与洁净:广西龙胜红瑶祭社仪式的社区整合意义

Divinity and Purity: the Significance of Social Integration of Ji She in Red Yao Longsheng of Guangxi

祭社是一种古老的祭祀仪式,从古至今对村落社区的社会整合都具有重要意义。广西龙胜各族自治县红瑶地区的祭社仪式伴生着"社老制"民间宗教组织,较好地保留了原始公社制的民主推选、共食和分肉的平均主义,是凝聚红瑶村落共同体的核心纽带之一。红瑶人对祭祀的神圣性与洁净的认同,在很大程度上促进了"社"信仰的传承,并有助于红瑶传统村落社区社会秩序的维护。

Ji She（the Memorial Ceremony of She）, an ancient sacrificial ceremony, has been playing a significant role in the social integration of village communities in all ages. For all ethnic groups＇ autonomous counties in Longsheng, Guangxi, the Ji She ceremony in their Red Yao area is accompanied with folk religious organizations in the ＂She Lao System＂（＂She Lao＂ means the leader of the community）, which better retains the democratic election of original commune system and the equalitarianism that people eat together and share meat. The ceremony is regarded as one of the core links of the Red Yao village communities. The acknowledgment of people in Red Yao about the divinity and purity of sacrifice promotes the heritage of people＇s faith in ＂She＂ to a large extent and contributes to the maintenance of the social order of traditional village communities in Red Yao.
