镇江金山寺“高僧降蛇”符号的叙事体系

Rite,Language and Landscape:the Narrative System of the Symbol " Eminent Monks Subduing the Snake" in Jinshan Temple of Zhenjiang City

景观符号的建构过程是一个多维叙事形态共同架构的叙事体系,同时也是一个文化选择与遗忘的编码过程。镇江金山寺"高僧降蛇"景观符号在水陆法会仪式行为叙事的初构下,在"白蛇传"传说语言叙事的强化下,以及在法海洞和白龙洞景观叙事的再生产下形成、发展。在此过程中,与"高僧降蛇"文化相背离的其他叙事文本被逐渐淡化与修正,"高僧降蛇"成为金山寺最核心的景观生产主题与景观符号。

Completed in a narrative system jointly established by multidi- mensional narrative forms, the construction process of the landscape symbol is also an encoding process of cultural selecting and forgetting. The landscape symbol of ＂eminent monks subduing the snake＂ in Jinshan Temple of Zhenjiang City was formed and developed with the initially construction in the action narration during the ritual of saving lives in water and land, the intensification in language narration of The Legend of the White Snake and the reproduction in the land- scape narration of Fabai Cave and Bailong Cave. During this process, other narra- tive discources deviating from the culture of ＂ eminent monks subduing the snake＂ were gradually ignored or modified. Eventually, ＂eminent monks subdu- ing the snake＂ became the very core of landscape production theme and landscape symbol.
