云南口头传统中的“兄弟祖先”记忆与叙事

A Study on the Memory and Narrative of"Brother Ancestors"in the Oral Traditions in Yunnan

云南各民族的“兄弟祖先”口头传统与“同源共祖”的民族记忆一脉相承、相互递进,包含了各民族对于本民族及周边其他民族的形成、发展、变迁的想象建构和对于各民族之间文化差异的朴素解释,对各民族和谐共生、民族文化多元共存的现实的理解认识提炼浓缩为“兄弟祖先”的口头叙事传统,并通过“兄弟祖先”这一凝聚群体的表征符号强化了云南各民族对于中华民族共同体的文化认同。

The oral traditions of“brother forefathers”among various ethnic groups in Yunnan is in⁃herited and developed in parallel with the ethnic memories of“common origins and ancestors”,which in⁃volves imaginative construction of the formation,development,and changes of one's own and neighboring ethnic groups,as well as simple explanation of cultural differences between different ethnic groups.The understanding and recognition of the reality of harmonious coexistence and cultural diversity among eth⁃nic groups are distilled and condensed into the oral narrative tradition of“brother forefathers”,and the cul⁃tural identity of the Chinese nation is forged among various ethnic groups in Yunnan through the symbolic representation of“brother forefathers”as a cohesive group.
