近代历史教科书对传统婚丧习俗的叙述与中华民族文化认同

The Narration of the Traditional Marriage and Funeral Customs in Modern History Textbooks and the Cultural Identity of the Chinese Nation

在婚丧习俗的叙述中,不少近代历史教科书追溯了作为中华民族共同习俗的历史渊源,尤其指明了某些重要习俗在历史上的起源,这样的叙述有助于中华民族观念的认同,不过也有一些教科书在对婚丧习俗的叙述中存在部分"当代化"判断。当代基础教育阶段历史教科书中涉及传统生活习俗的内容并不多,近代历史教科书中呈现的传统婚丧习俗对于当代历史教科书具有一定的借鉴意义。

While describing marriage and funeral practices, many modern history textbooks tracedback the history behind the common customs of Chinese Nation and pointed out the historical origins ofsome important customs. This kind of narration is definitely conducive to empathetically understandingChinese perspectives. However, there are also other kinds of textbooks which made some contemporaryjudgements. Since contents about traditional customs are limited in the contemporary primary educationtextbooks, these contents could have certain reference significance to modern history textbooks.
