从“族群界别”到“传统风俗”:沧源勐角乡泼水节节日秩序的涵义演变

From “Ethnic Border” to “Traditional Custom”: The Evolution of Meaning of Water-splashing Festival in Mengjiao Town, Cangyuan County

云南沧源勐角乡由多族共庆的泼水节在节日启动、集体活动入场及打摆圈形态上呈现出明显的秩序景观。土司治理时期形成的族群阶序结构是形塑节日秩序的深层历史根由。在宏观社会变革与微观交往实践中,勐角各族群逐渐实现了多层面的互嵌交融,族群关系模式从"阶序共生"转变为"平等团结"。与此同步,泼水节节日秩序的内在涵义亦从标示政治等级的"族群界别"回归于文化本位的"传统风俗"。

The Water-splashing Festival in Mengjiao Town,Cangyuan County,Yunnan Province,presents strict orders in the starting of the festival,the entrance sequence of group activities and the shape of dancing circles.Hierarchy structure of ethnic group which was formed during the Tusi period is the underlying historical cause of the festival orders.In the process of macro social transformation and micro association practice,various ethnic groups in Mengjiao realized the embedment and blending on many layers,which leads the change of ethnic relations from "hierarchical symbiosis"to"equal solidarity".Meanwhile,the essential meaning of the festival orders no longer indicates the"ethnic border"of political grade,but goes back to"traditional custom"on a culture basis.
