民俗视野下的安澜戏与祈雨戏

Anlan Opera and Rainmaking Opera from the Perspective of Folklore

从文化学与民俗学角度切入戏曲研究,能够看到戏曲文化与民间祭礼的独特关系。以安澜戏与祈雨戏这一对辩证统一的祭祀演剧类型为例,从演出形式与内容两方面进行考量,都能看到水崇拜、水神信仰在中华民族演进中的重要地位,甚至其对戏曲史本身也产生了相当重要的影响。古人历史悠久、种类繁多的水上演出活动及留存至今的水上戏台、船台等演出空间,以及戏曲文本中俯拾皆是的水神信仰内容,为我们提供了资料与实物两方面的例证。

Chinese opera has a special relationship with folk rituals. The worship of water and the cult of water gods play a essential part in the Chinese history as well as the history of Chinese opera, which can be seen in the performance and plot of Anlan opera and rainmaking opera. A variety of performances and stages on water and the cult of water gods reflected in scripts are evidence of the influence of folklore on Chinese opera.
