婚礼的“关键词”——关于汉代婚礼礼物及礼辞的考察

On the Keywords of the Wedding Ceremony in Han Dynasty

据东汉郑众记载,汉代婚礼礼物封表呈送时均配有谒文和赞文,以解释礼物的特殊含意,遂使得礼物成为特殊物象。它们与礼辞紧密结合,诠释礼仪内涵,成为营造婚礼内蕴丰富、喜庆庄重气氛的重要条件,同时也构成了一个有关汉代思想价值观念、伦理行为规范以及道德习俗的微观世界。因此,此类文体的撰作者除去必要的"技巧"、"知识"以外,尚需保有社会关怀、思想评判以及文化重建的趣味和能力,而相关文体也通过参与礼仪文化建设获得自身存在的意义。

According to Zhengzhong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, wedding gifts were presented carrying with the styles of Ye and Zan, which explained the special meanings of the gifts. As a result , the gifts turned into special imageries. They were closely combining with the ceremony styles, annotated the connotation of the etiquette. So they not only became an important element which created festive and solemn atmosphere , but also constituted a microscopic world about ideological values, ethical norms and social morals. Therefore, the author need not just skills and knowledge but interest and ability about social solicitude, ideological judgment and cultural reconstruction. The styles gained its value of existence through participating in building etiquette culture.
