如何理清农村殡葬改革与丧葬习俗传承的关系——基于江西省鄱阳县的田野调查

How to Clarify the Relationship Between Rural Funeral Reform and The Inheritance of Funeral Customs——Field Investigation in Poyang County of Jiangxi Province

基于江西省鄱阳县的田野调查,得知:当前的土葬并不是传统意义上的土葬,早已偏离了传统土葬的生态理念和信仰价值。而当前江西省的殡葬改革真正改的是坟墓的形式和规模,对于传统的丧葬仪礼的核心,并没有破坏性作用。殡葬改革的出发点确实是践行新发展理念,节约土地资源,推动绿色、文明殡葬。但是,殡葬改革也并非与传统丧葬习俗势不两立、水火不容。在推动殡葬改革的同时,仍然可以进行传统习俗的传承。

Based on the field investigation in Poyang county of Jiangxi province,this paper learns that:the current burial is not the traditional burial;it has long deviated from the ecological concept and belief value of traditional burial.At present,what the reform of funeral and burial in Jiangxi province really changes is the form and scale of tombs,which has no destructive effect on the core of traditional funeral and burial rites.The starting point of funeral reform is to practice the new development concept,save land resources,promote green and civilized funeral.However,funeral reform is not at odds with traditional funeral customs.While promoting funeral reform,we can still carry on the inheritance of traditional customs.
