《五猖会》:重识民俗与文化寻根

Wu Chang Hui:Rethinking of Folk-Custom and Cultural Root-Seeking

《五猖会》从鲁迅童年参加迎神赛会时的遭遇写起,描写了故乡绍兴的民俗文化,反映鲁迅对民俗的肯定态度,以及其中蕴藏的文化寻根倾向。鲁迅在精神返乡过程中进行文化寻根,呈现出对传统民俗文化的理性态度:肯定并支持节日、赛神报会等良俗,反对并批判承载着封建礼教意识的"庸俗"。

Wu Chang Hui begins with Lu Xun's participation in an idolatrous procession during his childhood.Its description of the folk custom in Shaoxing reflects Lu Xun's appreciation of folk custom and the implied cultural root-seeking tendency.Lu's cultural root-secking in the process of returning home spiritually shows his rational and dialectical attitude towards traditional folk custom:approving and supporting good customs such as festivals and religious processions,but opposing and criticizing vulgar customs with the feudal ethics.
