“大传统”与东北民间艺术研究略论——兼评《一种古老艺术的前世今生——东北秧歌研究》

On the Northeast Folk Art in The Great Tradition——The History of an Ancient Art: the Study on the Northeast Yangge

将无文字时代视作更为悠远的"大传统"观念在文化与文学研究中具有重要作用。东北文化独特的历史风貌与特殊表现特点一是具有悠久的无文字民间传统,二是地域内传世文献记录少。研究东北文化与文学之间的深层联系,需要突破学科界限,寻找民间遗存,见微知著。东北文化研究的学术佳作《一种古老艺术的前世今生——东北秧歌研究》从秧歌本质上呼应文化中无文字时代的"大传统",结合东北文化研究的现实,在精英与乡野文化的互动中,传递出东北秧歌的狂欢化诗学特征。

The concept of taking the preliterate era as a more distant Great Tradition plays an important role in cultural and literature study. The unique history and culrure of Northeast of China are followed with the characteristics including the remote literayless folk tradition as well as less hand-down references in the region. To study the deep relationship between culture in the northeast and literature,it is necessary to break through the limits among subjects,look for remains,and see big things from the small. The History of an Ancient Art: the Study on the Northeast Yangge,a master piece of study on culture of northeast of China,is corresponding to the Great Tradition in nature,combines the reality of the study,and embodies the features of carnival poetics under the Northeast Yangge during the interaction between elit culture and country culture.
