广州泮塘五约端午龙舟习俗传承的微观社会史考察——都市化背景下传统节日研究的一个尝试

A Micro Social Historical Study of the Inheritance of Dragon Boat Customs during the Dragon Boat Festival in Pantang Wuyue,Guangzhou:An Attempt to Study Traditional Festivals in the Context of Urbanization

广州泮塘五约端午龙舟习俗是在完全都市化的环境下保存完好、充满活力、仍然保有极大自发性的民俗节日活动,这与传承主体的传统社会结构和行动逻辑有着非常重要的关联。泮塘五约作为多姓共存的地缘性社区,优越的地理条件、精巧的资源开发和管理体系、高度自治的传统以及围绕着水生蔬菜生产、加工、流通形成的传统生产生活方式,都是泮塘五约这种缺少可见的有形组织机构但又行之有效、延绵不绝的龙舟习俗传承机制得以产生和维持的重要原因。

The Dragon Boat Festival customs of Pantang Wuyue in Guangzhou are well-preserved,vibrant,and still retain great spontaneity under a completely urbanized environment.This is closely related to the traditional social structure and action logic of the inheritance subject.As a geographical community with different surnames,the superior geographical conditions,the exquisite resource development and management system,the tradition of high autonomy and the traditional mode of production and lifestyle formed around the production,processing and circulation of aquatic vegetables are all important reasons for the emergence and maintenance of the inheritance mechanism of dragon boat customs,which lacks visible tangible organization but is orderlyand continuous.
