乡村文化传统的实践与乡村文化振兴——以清潭街“舞草把龙”为例

Practice of Traditional Rural Culture and Rural Cultural Revitalization:The Case of“Grass Dragon Performance”at Qingtan Street

“舞草把龙”是清潭街重阳节期间流行且带有非物质文化遗产标签的特定仪式,将其置于人类学视野下,追溯并描述其缘起与流变,挖掘其在特定情境中所发挥的社会功能,对维系乡村社会生机活力具有重要作用。基于清潭街“舞草把龙”仪式的社会实践,即“舞草把龙”仪式入选非物质文化遗产以及被列入“刘三姐文化”旅游节等种种事项,不难发现“舞草把龙”仪式呈现良好的发展态势。研究认为,这主要归因于“舞草把龙”仪式本身具有社会互动功能、情感联结功能、教育传承功能、社会控制功能。但仪式空间式微、仪式主体缺失等潜伏性危机不容忽视,亟待破解。而时下积极倡导的乡村振兴战略为乡村传统民间仪式的合理开发与乡村文化的传承创新提供了契机。

“Grass Dragon Performance”is a specific ritual popular during Qingtan Street's Double Ninth Festival as an intangible cultural heritage.Because it plays an important role in maintaining the vitality of the rural society,it is worthwhile to study its origin and development,and excavate its social functions in a particular situation in an anthropological perspective.The fact that“Grass Dragon Performance”is on the list of Guangxi intangible cultural heritages and a part of the tourism festival of“Liu Sanjie Culture”reveals its good development.This study reveals that“Grass Dragon Performance”has the functions of social interaction,emotional connection,educational implications,and social control.However,there are such latent crises as the narrow ritual space and the weak ritual subject,which needs to be solved urgently.The strategy of rural revitalization,which is actively advocated at present,provides an opportunity for the rational development of traditional folk ceremonies in rural areas and the inheritance and innovation of rural culture.
