泰北华裔留学生中华文化认同个案研究

A Case Study on Chinese Cultural Identity of Overseas Chinese Students in Northern Thailand

本文以访谈、问卷调查的方式对四位来自泰北华人村的华裔留学生的文化认同情况进行了调查。调查发现其对中华文化符号的认同度普遍较高,这与泰北华人村当地社区环境、家庭、学校教育等对中华文化的传承有巨大关系。华裔学习者对中文、中华文化地位、中华文化作用及传承和保护中华文化的态度等文化身份认同感强烈。但其对于身份认同均呈现双重性,从小在华人村长大的华裔学习者身份认同上更倾向于中国人,而未在华人村长大的华裔学习者身份认同上则更倾向于泰国华裔,且均存在华裔身份不自信等现象。新生代泰北华裔对“谦虚”以及“尊老爱幼”“长幼有序”等中国传统文化价值观依旧高度认同,而对“家本位”“集体主义”以及“以和为贵”等价值观的认同度居中。

This paper investigates the cultural identity of four overseas Chinese students who come from the Chinese Village in north Thailand through interviews and questionnaires.The survey found that they generally have a high identification with Chinese cultural symbols,which is closely related to the inheritance of Chinese culture in the local community environment,family and school education.Chinese learners have a strong sense of cultural identity,including the Chinese language,the status of Chinese culture,the role of Chinese culture and the attitude of inheriting and protecting Chinese culture.However,they all show duality in their identities.Chinese learners who grew up in Chinese village tend to be Chinese,while Chinese learners who did not grow up in Chinese village tend to be Thai Chinese,and they are not confident in their Chinese identity.The new generation of Chinese in north Thailand still highly identify with traditional Chinese cultural values such as“modesty”,“respect for the old and care for the young”and“order for the young and old”,while the recognition of values such as“family standard”,“collectivism”and“prioritizing harmony”is at the middle level.
