象征符号与国家认同:以中缅北界王骥崇拜文化再生产为例

Symbol and National Identity:A Case Study of Cultural Reproduction of Worship of Ancestor WANG Ji in the Northern Border of China and Myanmar

从文化再生产视角探讨中缅北界多民族跨国共享王骥崇拜现象,至今关注者甚少。文章通过对腾冲阿昌族、傈僳族,以及跨居中缅两国的汉族王氏家族的王骥崇拜文化再生产实践的系统调查,尤其是对明光、滇滩与密支那三个祭拜王骥仪式的“深描”,探析作为国家象征符号——王骥崇拜的跨族、跨国共享与国家认同之间的内在逻辑。在推进象征符号研究的同时,可为强化跨境民族的国家认同提供历史文化资源。

Few people have paid attention to the phenomenon of multi-ethnic cross-border WANG Ji worship in the northern boundary of China and Burma from the perspective of cultural reproduction.Systematic investigation was made about the practice of WANG Ji worship in Achang people,Lisu people and Wang family of Han ethnic group living in the border from the perspective of culture reproduction,and especially“deep description”was made about the three worship ceremonies in Mingguang,Diantan and Myitkyina.Based on these,this paper probes into the internal logic between the national identity and the cross-ethnic and transnational sharing of national symbols.Promoting the study of symbols can provide historical and cultural resources for strengthening the national identity of cross-border ethnic groups.
