文化人类学视野下的早期巴文化探赜

A Probe into Earlier Ethnic Ba Culture from the Perspective of Culture Anthropology

目前巴文化研究面临许多亟待解决的问题,如关于"巴"的早期历史状况和文化形成,至今没有清晰的面貌,《山海经》、《汉书》及《华阳国志》等中所载亦难釐清各时期之全貌。而巴文化研究首先要解决巴文化是什么,与其它族群文化的关系,其特征形成及原因等诸问题。这些问题的解释只有立足考古学成果为依据,并以文化人类学的视野,才可能达到合理而科学的系统阐释。

At present, Ba Culture study has faced with numerous burning issues, among which is its earlier historical status and its culture formation. Its clear face can not seen just according to the records in Shanhaijing, The History of Former Han Dynasty, and Chronicles in Huayang. The primary and most important issues in the study include the definition of Ba Culture, its relations with other ethnical culture and the formation of its features and reasons. The answers to these questions lie in the findings of archaeology and are guided by the theories of culture anthropology. Only that, can it achieve a reasonable and scientific system interpretation.
