少数民族人口流动与民族文化变迁——以广东连南瑶族为例

POPULATION MOBILITY AND CULTURAL CHANGE OF ETHNIC MINORITIES:The Case of Ethnic Yao in Liannan County, Guangdong

本文以广东连南瑶族为研究个案,通过考察连南瑶族人口流动的历史和现状,以及人口流动对瑶族文化变迁的影响,认为人口流动与民族文化是一个动态性的相互作用的过程,民族文化的特异性影响到了迁移活动的意愿与社会融入的程度和趋势,迁移活动所造成的新的杂糅性社会文化空间也给民族间的交往交流交融提供了重要动力。提出要同时关注"城镇化"和"逆城镇化"现象,要重新认识和挖掘瑶族传统文化的价值和特点,要注重构建乡村社会精神纽带。

By taking the case of the ethnic Yao in Liannan county, Guangdong province, this paper investigates the history and current situation of population mobility of the Yao and its influence on the change of their cultures. It mainly covers the following contents. Firstly, population mobility and national culture are in a dynamic and interactive process. Secondly, the specificity of national culture affects the willingness of migration activities and the degree and trend of social integration. Thirdly, the new mixed social and cultural space created by migration activities also provides an important impetus for the exchange and blending of ethnic groups. It points out that attention should be paid to the phenomenon of "urbanization" and "counter-urbanization" at the same time, the value and characteristics of Yao traditional culture should be re-recognized and excavated, and the construction of spiritual ties in rural society should be emphasized.
