从姻亲与地缘关系视角看布努瑶祖先崇拜

Towards Ancestor Worship of the Bunu-Yao from the Perspective of Affinity and Geographical Relationship

跳出从"血缘关系"内部研究祖先崇拜的传统思路,具体立足于姻亲关系、地缘关系,可发现祖宗是布努瑶确定外婚集团、鉴定及处理你我关系的标识,人与祖宗的关系具有实践性,甚至祖宗之间亦是互助合作的关系,那么祖宗在血缘家族、姻亲关系、地缘关系层面均具有意义,他们除了"家(族)神"还是"社会公众神"。这体现地方信仰协调社会的个体性与集体性矛盾的努力。

By jumping out of the traditional thinking which studies from the inside of ＂blood kinship＂, and focus on affinity and geographical relationship, we can find that the ancestors are the mark of the Bunu-- Yao determine the exogamy, identify and handle interpersonal relationship. The relationship between people and their ancestors is oneclosely connected with practice, even the relationship among ancestors is mutually cooperative. Therefore, the ancestors make difference in blood kinship, affinity and geographical relationship. They are ＂social public gods＂ as well as ＂family＇s gods＂, which indicates the endeavor of local belief to resolve the contradiction between individual and collective in society.
