张力的度量——以“朝珠花的传说”为例对国家与民族社会关系的研究

Measurement of Tension

神话传说是人类本质的符号表述,白族的"朝珠花传说"显示的国家与民族社会之间的张力关系表现为:在空间维度上,当国家权力出现掠夺性下沉时,国家与民族社会处于对立关系之中,双方互残互伤;反之,则形成整合关系,国家与民族和谐互动发展。在时间维度上,当现代国家排斥民族文化传统,国家与民族社会亦形成对立关系,传统与现代断裂;反之,则形成整合关系,民族传统适应国家现代化发展。

Myth and legend is a kind of symbolic expression of the essence of human beings.The tension relation between states and ethnic societies,reflected from the Chaozhuhua legend of Bai People,expresses as follows:from the dimension of space,states and ethnic societies are at confrontation by hurting and impairing each other,when the power of states takes on the characteristics of aggressive declination;on the contrary,states and ethnic societies are at integration with harmonious and interactive development.From the dimension of time,states and ethnic societies are also at confrontation with the departure of tradition and modernization,when modern states rule out the traditions of ethnic culture;on the other hand,states and ethnic societies are also at integration,when ethnic traditions adapt to the moderndevelopment of states.
