文化“钟摆”与中华民族共同体的“园圃”比喻

Cultural “Pendulum” and the Metaphor of “Garden” of the Chinese Nation

在云南傣族村寨的调查发现,当地的文化变迁呈现了一种“钟摆”现象。随着市场经济、信息传播、族际通婚等因素影响,人们日渐融入了中华民族共同体的一体化进程中。但在此基础之上,人们又在新的意义上开始注重民族文化特色。这种变化预示着中华民族共同体中“一体”与“多元”的关系发生了微妙变化。随着各民族交往交流交融的加深,“一体”的社会基础正日渐牢固,但与此同时民族的“多元”文化也获得了新的时代形式。这种“多元”的绽放不会损害“一体”的基础,而是在更高层面上使“一体”得到强化。

The investigation of Dai ethnic villages in Yunnan Province found out the “pendulum” phenomenon represented in the local cultural change.Though under the influence of market economy, information dissemination, inter-ethnic marriage and other factors, people are increasingly involved in the integration process of the Chinese national community, people also started to emphasize ethnic cultural characteristics in a new sense.This change indicates a subtle change in the relationship between “diversity” and “integration” in the Chinese nation community.With the deepening of association, communication and blending among all ethnic groups, the social foundation of “integration” is increasingly consolidated, while “diversity” is getting a new form.The blooming of “diversity” will not damage the foundation of “integration”,but strengthen it at a higher level.
