文化采借转换、涵化整合与草根力量——汉族与布依族神牌的比较人类学探析

不同文化之间的接触,总要产生彼此的采借转换、涵化整合之关系,在这一过程中,文化的草根性力量又往往保存着各自深层的文化特性,使每种文化呈显出不同于他文化的价值体系和意义系统。汉族“天地君亲师“神牌反映了中国大传统文化的特征,布依族采借之后,转换为自己深层文化价值和社会结构的祖先崇拜的陈述。这两种文化在涵化整合的同时,都体现了独特的文化个性。文化间的采借转化,涵化整合与草根力量的关系,正是人类文化纷纭多姿、精彩丰富的根源之一。

Borrowing, Conversion, and Acculturation: and Grassroots Forces in Cultural Contacts A comparative study of anthropology on deity worshipping between the Han and the Buyi peoples

In the process of contact between different cultures, there always come out borrowing, conversion and acculturation. That apart, in this process, the grassroots forces also attempt by all means to retain their own cultural traits. Consequently, differences will never be lost in value and convergence. The importance of ＂heav- en, earth, sovereign, parents and teachers＂ held by the Han people is an inheritance that reflects the features of traditional Chinese culture. When the Buyi people learned about this, they employed it into their own cultural values and began to worship their own ancestors. When the two cultures were influencing each other, each of them reflected its unique cultural features. The borrowing and conversion between different cultures and the inter- relationship between the acculturations and grassroots forces are supported to be the cause to create cultural diver- sity in the world.
