民族碑刻:社会记忆、地方志、民俗的循环——以西南地区布依族碑刻为例

Ethic Tablet Inscriptions:the Circulation of Social Memory,Local Chronicles and Folk Custom--A Case Study of Buyeis Tablet Inscriptions in Southwest China

碑刻作为金石文化之一,是社会记忆的一种载体和方式,更是历史研究的重要文献资料,但碑刻文化的意义不仅在于此。它是一种文化运动的循环过程,即碑刻记忆了社会事件,久而久之便成了民俗,反过来又解释了碑刻的社会记忆,而地方志记载了碑刻和民俗,又为其上升为国家历史和国家性质的社会记忆做好准备。碑刻作为一种社会记忆的符号,与地方志之间是一种互证关系。但在西南的少数民族地区,碑刻这种社会记忆不是一种简单的复制,它还具有文化再生产的能力,是民俗文化产生和发展的重要源泉。同时,研究还发现,社会记忆、地方志和民俗三者之间的循环互动不是某一个地方的特例,它是东亚文化圈中传统文化生成的路径。

As a culture of inscriptions on bronzes and stone tablets,tablet inscriptions are carriers and ways of social memory,therefore,they are important documentation of his corral study.However,the significance of tablet culture is not only about this,but also it is the cyclical process of cultural movement.In other words,the tablet inscription memorized social events,and over time it became folk custom,which in turn explained the social memory of the tablet inscription,while the local Chronicles recorded the inscription on the stone tablet and folk custom,and prepared for its rise into the social memory of national history and national nature.As a symbol of social memory,the inscriptions on stone tablets have a mutual relationship with local Chronicles.However,in the southwest minority areas,the inscriptions are not a simple copy of the social memory,but also has the ability of cultural reproduction,and is an important source of the generation and development of folk culture.At the same time,it is found that the cyclic interaction among social memory,local Chronicles and folk customs is not a special case of a certain place,but a path for the generation of traditional culture in the east Asian cultural circle.
