边疆民族地区水域文化探略——以呼伦贝尔水体名称为中心的考察

A Brief Exploration of Water Culture in Frontier Minority Areas——An Investigation Centered on the Name of Hulunbuir Water Body

边疆民族地区水域文化是各民族水文化与地域文化融合发展而形成的特色文化体系。以呼伦贝尔为例,从考察不同民族语言命名的水体名称释义出发,探讨各民族人民对于水体和相关地理元素命名的方式和特征,发现水体名称作为水域空间的关键文化符号。在文化空间生产过程中,建构和展现的地方性文化景观与特色民俗文化现象是以水文化本质为基础,以地方性知识的传承与发展为依托的文化表现形式。同时,又区分于那些强烈的治水、用水冲突的文化观念,呈现出边疆民族地区水域空间内独特的生产规律与生活逻辑,使水域文化在空间均质化和多重符号化以及地方化的变迁发展中,呈现出空间性、社会性和传统性等特征。

The water culture in the frontier minority areas is a characteristic cultural system formed by the integration and development of water culture and regional culture of all ethnic groups. Taking Hulunbuir as an example, the ways and characteristics of naming water bodies and related geographical elements by people of different nationalities from the perspective of the interpretation of water names in different languages were explored in the paper. It is found that as the key cultural symbol of water space, the local cultural landscape and characteristic folk culture phenomena constructed and displayed in the process of cultural space production are the cultural manifestations based on the essence of water culture, relying on the inheritance and development of local knowledge. At the same time, it is different from the strong cultural concepts of water control and water use conflict, and it displays the unique production law and life logic in the water space of frontier minority areas, which makes the water culture present the characteristics of space, sociality and tradition in the evolution and development of spatial homogenization, multiple symbolization and localization.
