略论比较法在西南民族民居空间演变研究中的应用

A Brief Discussion on the Application of Comparison Methods in the Spatial Evolvement Study of Southwestern Minorities'Houses

本文运用人类学中的比较法考察了瑶族、苗族、侗族、壮族等西南地区少数民族民居的空间演变,指出整体上存在"从前后关系向左中右关系演变"的共性趋向。比较法在乡土建筑研究中有重要价值,有助于拓展视野,获得新的认识。而比较框架的建立、族群划分的逻辑、源与流的分辨以及人类学标志物等,是其中较为关键的环节。

Based on comparison methods deriving from anthropology,this article investigated the spatial evolvement of Southwestern Minorities'Houses in the Yao,Miao,Dong,Zhuang ethnic groups,and pointed out a general trend of transfrom from front-back.It shows that comparison Methods have high value in the study of spatial transfor buildings.The establishment of a comparative framework,the logic of ethnic group division,the discrimination of sources and streams,and anthropological markers are critical points in such studies.
