传统仪式的实践与村落共同体重塑——以清潭村“舞草把龙”仪式为例

The Practice of Traditional Rituals and the Reshaping of Village Communities: A Case Study of the “Grass Dragon Dance” Ritual in Qingtan Village

传统仪式具有凝聚社会团结和强化集体力量的作用。清潭村“舞草把龙”仪式的田野调查与研究表明,传统仪式具有连接社会亲属关系网络、强化村落共同体集体记忆、激发文化自觉与内生动力、维护村落共同体社会秩序等功能,为重塑村落共同体提供了活动空间、认同基础、文化逻辑、秩序规范等基本性要素。以柯林斯的互动仪式链理论作为分析框架,着重从互动仪式核心要素运行前、运行时、运行后,析毫剖厘互动仪式链视域下重塑村落共同体意识的叙事脉络,为多维度探究传统仪式的功能发挥与村落共同体的重塑提供一个新的研究视角。

Traditional rituals play a role in fostering social cohesion and strengthening collective power.Field investigations and studies of the“Grass Dragon Dance”ritual in Qingtan Village show that traditional rituals serve to connect social kinship networks,reinforce collective memory within the village community,inspire cultural awareness and internal motivation,and maintain social order within the village community.These functions provide essential elements for reshaping village communities,including space for activities,a foundation for identity,cultural logic,and normative order.This paper uses Collins’Interaction Ritual Chain theory as an analytical framework,focusing on the core elements of interaction rituals before,during,and after their operation.It meticulously examines the narrative context of reshaping village community consciousness from the perspective of the interaction ritual chain.This provides a new research perspective for multidimensional exploration of the functions of traditional rituals and the reshaping of village communities.
