从《亚鲁王》看苗族寻根意识及其生态意义

Research on Hmong Root- seeking Consciousness and Its Ecological Significance from King Yalu

在苗族文化中,寻根意识作为一种母题,通过各种文化形式表现出来,成为民族稳定的文化心理;从麻山苗族丧葬史诗《亚鲁王》的神圣仪式及诗化的阐述方式中,可以看到寻根意识的普遍存在,使苗族依然保持着对自然的原初生命感觉和敬畏之情,形成一种把万物生命看作一体的生态自然观;这种生态自然观展示了苗族的原初生命感觉和思维方式,带有原始信仰的神圣性,使得敬畏自然成为一种普遍存在的观念;在人与自然相互信赖的和谐亲缘关系被破坏的现代社会里,寻根意识具有尤其重要的生态意义。

As a motif, the root -seeking consciousness generally exists in Hmong culture and becomes a fixed cultural psychology. The sacred rituals and poetic narration in Mashan Hmong epic King Yalu shows that the prevalence of root - seeking consciousness makes Hmong still maintain awe and veneration for nature, which helps them develop an ecological view of nature that considers all things on earth as one body. This view demonstrates Hmong primitive life feeling and thinking pattern, which is characterized with the sacredness of primitive faith. It makes the idea of awe and veneration for nature generally exists. In modem society, the harmonious and inter - dependent relationship between human and nature was broken. In that case, root - seeking consciousness has important sense.
