喊山习俗探析——兼论福建茶区喊山习俗的现代境遇

An Analysis on the Custom of Hanshan——Concurrently Discussing the Modern Situation of Hanshan Custom in Fujian

历代皇家御茶园每岁开采茶叶前都要举行盛大的喊山习俗,或庆祝或祈祷一年茶事的顺利开展。通过文献梳理,可以发现此类习俗的存在和开展有着深刻的农业社会烙印。到了现代,社会经济的发展使得喊山习俗得以复兴,但却被贴上了商业化的标签,成为一地政治、经济权力团体积极争取的文化性商品。

in ancient times, every year before the tea harvest, the royal tea garden should hold a Hanshan ceremony to celebrate and pray for a successful development of tea in this year. Through the literature, we can find that the existence and development of this custom has a agricultural connotation. Now, the custom rejuvenates along with the socioeconomic development, but it has also been labeled as a cultural commodity that emphasized by the government and business organizations.
