论苗族花山节的文化特征

Cultural Characteristics of Huashan Festival of Miao Ethnic Minority

花山节是苗语西部方言区苗族人民最隆重的传统节日,长期受到苗族人民的喜爱。从花山节的起源来看,不同地区有不同版本,归结起来,有祖先崇拜、生育崇拜、农业生产、消遣娱乐等。苗族花山节的文化生态是在上述这些文化环境下产生的,集祖先崇拜、生育崇拜、农业生产等多重文化生态于一体。在整个文化生态中,它们既相互独立,又相互联系,以历史文化生态为中心,围绕历史文化生态而发生作用。但随着社会的发展,苗族花山节这一独特的“文化空间”面临逐渐消亡的危险。

Huashan festival is the most solemn and extensive traditional festival of theMiao people in the western dialect of Miao language,which has long been loved by the Miao people.When it comes to the origin of Huashan festival,different regions have different activities including ancestor worship,fertility worship,agricultural production,entertainment and so on.The cultural ecology of Huashan festival is a cultural state produced under the above cultural environment,which integrates ancestor worship,fertility worship,agricultural production and other multiple cultural ecology.In the whole cultural ecology,they are not only independent of each other,but also related to each other,with his‐torical and cultural ecology as the center and around the historical and cultural ecology.However,with the development of society,the unique“cultural space”of the Miao Huashan Festival would face the danger of gradual extinction.
