沈从文对湘西苗族文化传播贡献梳理

Shen Congwen's Contribution to Miao Culture Communication in Xiangxi

具有苗族血统的沈从文,在其青少年成长和人格趋于成熟阶段,明显受到湘西苗族生活环境和苗族文化传统的多方影响。当后来的沈从文主动以文学方式反映他的故乡题材、以较理性的思维认知和评介本土文化时,湘西苗族文化作为他关照和反映的一个对象就显得十分自然。于是,沈从文通过自己的文章知识评介和文学作品建构,形成了对湘西苗族文化为主打的一种传播行为,尽管这种传播及其贡献在目的性、体系性、丰富性等方面同沈从文的整个文学世界创造与物质文化史研究成果相比较,显得不是特别突出,但对它作出必要的梳理和评价,就沈从文的研究视角而言,仍不失为一种积极的探讨。另外,对民族文化的一大传承前提就是传播,所以,沈从文对苗族文化的传播亦即是对苗族文化传承上的一种贡献,对于这种贡献人们不应忽视。
