侗族“取鼓楼名”与文化身份建构

On the Dong Drum-Tower Naming and the Construction of Cultural Identity

取鼓楼名是侗族传统命名制度,亦是侗族成年礼仪式。通过对取鼓楼名的场所、被命名者、命名者、命名过程等要素的文化分析,认为取鼓楼名对建构侗族身份认同起着十分重要的作用。取鼓楼名当前面临消失的境地,认为侗族今日建构文化身份应该重新重视取鼓楼名,通过建立文化自觉意识,借助"民族文化进校园"等教育途径,结合旅游发展,传承这一传统的命名制度。

Giving a name to the drum tower is the traditional naming custom of Dong ethnic group,which is also the rite of passage of Dong people. Based on the analysis on elements of naming such as the place,the named,the namer and the process of naming,the present study found that naming the drum tower has the impact on constructing cultural identity of Dong people. As this custom has been almost extinguished,the study suggested that it is necessary to inherit it through establishing cultural self-consciousness and educational ways such as building ethnic culture in campus.
