仪式与记忆——羌族“释比”文化田野见述

Ritual and Memory:Hands-on Experience of“Shibi”Culture of the Qiangs

释比在羌族传统社会中掌握地方知识、传说,沟通神灵、祭拜祖先,是羌族祖先记忆与神灵观念的权威阐释者。通过文献研究与田野调查,阐释羌族“释比”的信仰、唱经、仪式的文化内涵,对研究羌族文化如何依靠释比保持本民族的原生信仰体系,以及释比文化在非遗传承保护工作中存在的具体问题与挑战具有重要意义。

In the traditional Qiang society,Shibi is an authoritative interpreter of ancestral history and ideas associated with gods.He serves as a spreader of local knowledge and legends,a bridge to nature and gods,and the presider over ancestor worship ceremonies.Assessing the cultural significance of the beliefs,scripture chanting and rituals related to the Qiang“Shibi”based on literature review and field investigations is of great significance to research on how Qiang culture has managed to preserve its original belief system through“Shibi”and the problems and challenges facing the inheritance and protection of Shibi culture as intangible cultural heritage.
