Analysis of the Isomorphic Relationship between the Enshi Tujia Small Hand Waving Ceremony and the Ritual Space

少数民族仪式是民族文化的重要载体。现代土家族传统仪式已经由表达原始巫鬼思想转向呈现汉族式礼仪文化,这一转变深刻影响了其仪式行为与相关仪式空间的关系。文章选取土家族极具代表性的传统仪式——摆手仪式作为研究对象,结合相关研究文献及方志等历史资料,梳理了摆手仪式行为与仪式空间之间的同构关系,从而为理解土家族文化的内涵及其现代嬗变,促进对民族文化及地方精神的研究提供可行的研究路径。

The rituals of ethnic minorities are an important carrier for the ethnic cultures. The modern traditional ritual culture of the Tujia minority has gradually shifted from expressing primitive witch and ghost ideas to presenting Hanstyle ceremonial culture, which has profoundly affected the relationship between their ritual behaviors and the associated ritual spaces. The article selects the representative ritual of the Tujia ethnic group-the hand-waving ceremony as a research case.Combining relevant research literature, historical data,and other sources, the isomorphic relationship between the ritual behavior of the hand-waving ceremony and the ritual space is sorted out, so as to provide a feasible research path for understanding the connotation of the Tujia culture and its modern transmutation, and to promote the study of the national culture and the spirit of the place.
