时空中的阶序:中—泰南传佛教节庆仪式音声系统的比较研究

Order in Time and Space:A Comparative Study on Chinese and Thai Ritual Musical Systems in Theravada Buddhist Festival Ceremonies

南传佛教节庆仪式音声的构成是结合了时间和空间来表达的阶序系统,它的现状反映了历史但又表现于当下的空间中,这种阶序既与南传佛教稳定的文化内核有关,同时也体现了南传佛教在跨地区、跨文化传播过程中的变迁和差异。对中、泰节庆仪式音声系统时空阶序的比较研究体现了南传佛教对部分与整体、外延与内核之间的关系的认知。这种认知在南传佛教的在地化过程中不断地确立、再生产和巩固,并得以从信仰观念和仪式构成实践、文化的隐喻与外显的音声这两对关系进一步深化和理解。

The composition of the ritual music of Theravada Buddhism is an order system conveyed with a combination of time and space whose current situation reflects the history and the contemporary space.Its order is not only related to the stable cultural core of Theravada Buddhism,but also reflects the changes and differences of Theravada Buddhism in the process of cross-regional and cross-cultural communication.A comparative study of the temporal and spatial order of Chinese and Thai ritual musical systems demonstrates Theravada Buddhism’s cognition of the relationship between the part and the whole,and the extension and connotation.This cognition has been continuously established,reproduced and consolidated in the process of localization of Theravada Buddhism,and thus it has further deepened and understood these two pairs of relations.One is the belief concept and ritual construction practice and the other is cultural metaphors and its explicit sounds.
