"Sacred Consumption" and Non-productive Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Traditional Craftsmanship——Case Study of "HengjiangZhongzhi" Production of Shicheng County of Jiangxi Province

传统技艺类非遗大部分是中国农业文明时代留下的产物,其存在和发展与乡村社会的消费习俗密切相关。随着中国乡村社会现代化的转型,传统技艺类非遗的生产性保护遇到了极大的困难,如何促进传统技艺的活态传承成为政府和学界面临的棘手问题。从横江重纸的个案可以看出,具有神圣性质的仪式消费是支撑传统手工造纸技艺生产性保护的一股强大内在力量。在保护传统技艺类非遗的过程中,若能将其引入民俗、信仰、仪式的神圣场域,无疑是传统技艺类非遗生产性保护的有效途径之一。

Most intangible cultural heritage of traditional craftsmanship is handed down from Chinese agricultural civilization, its existence and development are closed related with consumption custom of rural society. With modernized transformation of Chinese rural society, non-productive protection of intangible cultural heritage of traditional craftsmanship is facing great difficulties, and problems of governments and academic circle are how to promote the dynamic inheritance of traditional craftsman- ship. As the case of HengjiangZhongzhi, ritual consumption with sacred features is a strong internal strength to sustain the productive protection of traditional craftsmanship of manual paper making. In the protection process of intangible cultural heritage of traditional craftsmanship, the introduction into sacred field of folklore, beliefs and rites is undoubtedly an effective way for the non-productive protection of traditional craftsmanship.
