历史书写、家族记忆与认同建构

Historical Writing, Family Memory and Identity Construction

运用文化记忆理论描述一个家族离散聚合的过程,是一个全新的视角。偰氏族人为中国鲜见家族。依据族人记忆,祖先为后突厥汗国著名的宰相暾欲谷。暾欲谷后代遂成为回纥汗国的一支重要政治势力,西迁后成为高昌回鹘王国的显赫家族。蒙元时期,家族重要成员受到成吉思汗及忽必烈的赏识并入中原为官。随着历史的跌宕,家族在元末明初各奔东西,形成江苏溧阳、安徽和县、云南姚安和韩国庆州四支,且离散几百年,并分别形成汉族、回族、朝鲜族身份。通过历史书写的记载,家族记忆被唤醒,几支偰氏族人操着不同的乡音,甚至韩国偰氏族人不得不依靠聘请的翻译做同声传译,但这并不妨碍彼此之间回忆家族的沧桑历程和离散之后的思乡之愁。浓浓的血脉之情,使家族的记忆充满了温情,并通过家族的记忆彼此认同。

Applying cultural-memory theory to describe a family＇s process of separation and reunion is an entirely-new perspective.Salinga clan is a family rarely seen in China. According to clan people＇s memory, the forefather was Tun Xiao-gu, a leading prime minister in Later Turkic Khanate.Later Turkic state was perished by Uighur Khanate before land and offspring were returned to Uighur and Tun Xigu＇s descendants thus became a leading political force.After the westward movement,it became a prominent family of Uighur Kingdom in Gaochang.During the Yuan Dynasty reigned by Mongolians,leading members of the family were admired by Genghis Khan and Kublai and transferred to the central plains as court officials.With historical changes, the family members made their own ways during the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty and formed four clans：Liyang in Jiangsu, Hexian county in Anhui, Yaoan in Yunnan and Gyeongju in Korea. Having separated and diffused for hundreds of years, there came into Han, Hui and Korean identities.Through account of historical writings, family＇s memory was aroused, several Salinga clans spoke different accents and even Salinga clan in Korea had to hire a simultan.eous interpreters, which didn＇t prevent them from recollecting their vicissitude and homesick anxiety of their separation.Close kinship has a family＇s memory filled with warmth and get one another identified through such a memory.
