固始传说与闽台民众的文化认同

Study on Gushi Legends about People's Cultural Identity of Fujian and Taiwan

闽台地区的族谱普遍声称其先世来自河南光州固始,但自宋代著名学者郑樵、方大琮始,学者多有质疑、考辨。本文试图跳出传统的考证思维,从人类学的角度追溯这种现象的成因及其社会功能,固始传说的成因除了受帝王故里的政经特权、中原正统观念影响外,还与地缘关系建构、圣贤崇拜心理等因素密切相关,因而具有族群凝聚、文化认同、精神教育、文化交往的功能与作用。

The genealogy of Fujian and Taiwan is generally claimed to have originated from Gushi,Gwangju City,Henan Province.However,since the Song Dynasty famous scholars Zheng Qiao and Fang Dacong began to question and argue.This paper attempts to jump out of the traditional textual research thinking,tracing the cause of the phenomenon from anthropology perspective and its social function in real life.The author think that the cause of Gushi legend is to enjoy the emperor’s hometown of economic and political privilege,be influenced by the central plains orthodox ideas,construct the geopolitical relations,worship the sages psychological.Therefore,it has the function of ethnic cohesion,cultural identity,spirit education and cultural exchanges.
