苗族对歌起源考

The Origin of “Duige” in the Hmong Group

借助汉语文献,并佐以考古学研究成果及苗族民俗事象,考证出对歌习俗起源于苗族"东门祭祀"。苗族的"东门祭祀"可以追溯到6000年前湖南西北部澧水下游的城头山遗址,后随"九黎"集团传至山东及河南东部,以至于在《诗经》陈风和郑风中仍然可以看到东门对歌的作品。

This paper clarifies that the custom of＂Duige＂（singing love songs to each other）originated in the Hmong festival for worshiping the sun at the eastern gate of towns.This Hmong festival can be traced back to the Cheng-Tou-Shan（城头山）remains in the northwestern part of Hunan Province 6,500-4,200 years ago,and then it spread to Shangdong Province and the eastern part of Henan Province with a Hmong-Yue group called ＂Jiuli＂.So,we can find some works related to the custom of＂Duige＂（singing love songs to each other）at the eastern gate of towns in Chenfengand Zhengfengof The Book of Odes.
