地方感知与历史叙事——以都柳江下游梅林村为例

Local Perception and Historical Narration: A case Study of Meilin Village in the Lower Reaches of the Duliujiang River

不同人群对于梅林的地方感知呈现模糊而又各有差异。明清地图与地方志体现了地方官吏对于梅林乃至更大区域的地方感与天下观。在后者的支配下,历史的叙事逻辑带有强烈的二元色彩(中心/边缘、国家/地方),并以“蛮荒”概述之。相较而言,当地人对于梅林共时方面的地方感知则具体得多,但是他们对于梅林历时方面的地方感知则显得模糊。因之,当地人的历史叙事形式将历史隐喻于风水和民间传说,并以此来理解过去,认识当下并推进当下的实践走向未来。

Different people's local perception of Merlin is fuzzy and different.The maps and local chronicles of Ming and Qing Dynasties show that the local sense of Meilin and even the larger area is closely related to the world outlook.Under the control of the latter,the narrative logic of history has a strong dualistic color(Center/edge,country/local),which is summarized by“barbarism”.In contrast,the local people’s local perception on the synchronic aspect of Meilin is much more specific,but their local perception on the diachronic aspect of Meilin is vague.For this reason,the local people’s historical narrative form metaphors history to Fengshui and folklore,so as to understand the past,understand the present and promote the practice of the present to the future.
