大槐树情结的形成及民族文化内涵

The Formation and National Culture Connotation of the Big Pagoda Tree Complex

在北京、河北、河南以及山东等广大北方地区,人们普遍认为是山西洪洞大槐树移民的后裔。实际上,在明初大移民中,其中大半并非来自山西洪洞,甚至不是来自山西。还有的根本就是当地土著,也自称祖先来自山西洪洞大槐树。大槐树情结是在漫长的时间里逐渐形成的,其中包含着民族文化认同、北方汉文化传统的重新建构等丰富的内涵,对民族文化传承有着深远的意义。

People in the northern provinces,such as Beijing,Hebei,Henan and Shandong,generally consider themselves as descendants of immigrants from Big Pagoda Tree in Hongtong,Shanxi. In fact,most people do not come from Hongtong,Shanxi,even not from Shanxi province in the big immigration of the early Ming Dynasty. Some of the local natives also claim that their ancestors come from Big Pagoda Tree in Hongtong,Shanxi. The Big Pagoda Tree complex gradually forms in a long time,which contains rich connotation,such as the identity of national culture and the reconstruction of tradition of northern Han culture. It is of far-reaching significance on the inheritance of national culture.
