礼物范式下的地方神灵信仰仪式研究——基于山西洪洞“接姑姑迎娘娘”信仰仪式的考察

On the ritual of local-God worship in the perspective of gift paradigm:A case study of the ritual“Exchange Visits among Relatives”in Hongtong of Shanxi province

基于山西洪洞"接姑姑迎娘娘"信仰仪式的考察,本文尝试从礼物范式的视角认识地方神灵信仰及其衍生的村落联合仪式。拟亲属关系的生产为人神间、村落间交往实践搭建了一个支撑机制,定期的仪式性礼物交换在人与神、村落间建立一种差序的互惠关系。两者的动态交织运行揭示了中国地方信仰仪式的独特价值。

Based on an ethnographical study of the local ritual ＂Exchange Visits among Relatives＂ in Hongtong of Shanxi province, this paper tries to interpret the local-God belief and its related villagebased rituals from the perspective of gift paradigm. The production based on the fictive kinship helps build a supporting mechanism for the exchanges between believers and God as well as among villages, while the regular rituals of gift exchanges help establish a hierarchal win-win relationship between believers and God as well as among villages, whose dynamic interaction reveals some unique value of the local rituals in China.
