中华民族戏剧与民族戏剧学的未来

Chinese Ethnic Drama and the Future of the Science of Ethnic Drama

中华各民族戏剧是中国传统文化的重要组成部分,是中华民族精神文化真实形象的艺术写照。中国少数民族在缔造华夏乐舞戏剧文化、中外戏剧文学与表演艺术交流的过程中,曾起到了相当重要的作用,建立过非常卓越的功勋。对中国少数民族戏剧的研究,不能单纯套用西方戏剧与中国汉族戏曲研究固定模式,而应该以先进的宏观与微观相结合的文化人类学与民族学的实证考察,即理论联系实际的田野调查法,对中华民族历史文化背景、研究意义与学术价值进行较为详细的实证以及全面、系统、科学、务实的研究。从民族文化、戏剧艺术的视角,以翔实可考的文献资料与理论知识,对中华文明史作出科学描述和总结。以国内外民族音乐、舞蹈、文学、戏剧的丰富资料、先进的科研方法,来佐证中国少数民族戏剧艺术在世界戏剧文化体系中所具有的学术地位与价值。

The dramas of Chinese ethnicities are important components of traditional Chinese culture as well as a genuine artistic depiction of Chinese mental cultural image. Chinese minority people have made great contributions to the founding of Chinese music and dance drama and the exchange between Chinese and foreign drama literatures and performing arts. It is argued that western model cannot be used alone in studying Chinese minority dramas; in- stead, advanced macro and micro cultural anthropology and ethnology should be combined for field work, i.e. field survey based on application of theories to practice. In this way the Chinese ethnic drama can be studied overall, scientifically and practically.
