基于民族认同视角下的《评皇券牒》解读

On the Interpretation of Ping Huang Jun Die (《评皇券牒》) from the Perspective of Ethnic Identity

《评皇券牒》是研究瑶族历史文化及其变迁不可或缺的重要文献。虽然有名称各异的多种版本,但都以同样的方式构建并强化民族认同。一是通过始祖盘王构建瑶族不同支系的族源认同;二是通过生存环境的规定构建瑶族相似的生计模式;三是通过培育共同的价值理念来强化族内认同。可以说,《评皇券牒》犹如宗教经典和法律法规,起着约束、引领和定位瑶族的重要作用。

The various different versions of Ping Huang Jun Die, an important document that mirrors the history and culture of Yao Nationality, share the same notion of ethnic identity. The contents of the notion of ethnic identity include at least the following three aspects： first of all, the different ethnic branches share the same ethnic identification of ancestor of which is Pan King; second, the different ethnic branches have the same or similar pattern of life due to the same or similar life environment （s）; third, the same pattern of the strengthening of internal ethnic identification based upon the construction of the same or similar value system. It is safe to say that Ping ffuang Jun Die has been playing the roles of both the religious classic and law in the history of Yao Nationality.
