新化山歌花草兴象的生命附着意义

The Attached Life Significance of Flower Image in Xinhua Folk Songs

新化县的民歌又称为山歌,是国家级非物质文化遗产,是新化民众用以抒情感兴的重要艺术形式。经统计发现,"兴"是新化山歌最常用的艺术手法,而在山歌的兴辞中,植物类兴象在整个兴象系统中呈优势出现,占到了兴象总数的24.3%。植物类兴象的优势出现,一方面是由新化的农耕生产方式决定的,另一方面,则在于人类的生命一体化思维中,很容易将花草生长枯荣的生命节律同人类荣通盛衰的生命变迁沟通起来,花草由此成为了新化民歌传达生命意识最常用的兴象之一。在它们身上,新化先民们赋予了别样的生命内涵。
