繁忙的割胶与热闹的“扩塔”:拉祜族族性认同的加强——以西盟南约寨拉祜族为例

Busy Tapping and Lively “Kuota” : the Ethnicity Identity Strengthened of Lahu Minority Group——Taking the Lahu Minority of Nanyue Village in Ximeng County for Example

橡胶经济将南约寨拉祜族社区纳入全球风险社会市场体系中,而当地却没有一套完善应对风险社会的机制,民间信仰成了应对和缓解风险事故所带来的心理压力的地方性策略。繁忙的橡胶种植淡化了拉祜族民众传统文化意识,拉祜族地方精英通过对传统文化内容再现或者丰富化来加强拉祜族民众对族性认同和民族身份的实践。在热闹的"扩塔"与三佛祖祭祀中,共同的信仰祭祀、共同的拉祜音乐声调、共同的行为表现使来自不同地缘关系的拉祜族全体将彼此想象成为"具有祖先血缘关系的共同体",强化他们对族性内涵的了解和认同。

Rubber economy has involved the Lahu community in Nanyue village in the global risk of market system. However, there is a lack of local mechanism to fight against the social risk, and the folk beliefs become the local strategy to solve and mitigate the psychological pressure from risk and accidents. Busy rubber planting has weakened the consciousness of Lahu local traditional culture. But,In order to strengthen their ethnic identity and ethnic practice,the Lahu local elites try their best to revitalize or enrich the traditional culture. During the lively ＂kuota＂ festival and the worshipping of ＂Three Buddha＂, their shared belief of sacrifice, musical rhythm and behavior make Lahu people from different geopolitical places form a ＂community＂ seemingly with related ancestors, which strengthens their understanding and identification of the connotation of their own ethnic identitiy.
