从历史向文化的演进——闽台家族溯源与中原意识

在当今的闽台民间社会,人们在谈论自己家族的演变历史时,大都认同祖先源自于中原地区.然而我们今天假如非要一意孤行地寻找什么纯正的“中原血统”,其结果必然是恰得其反而又纠缠不清.我们只有在文化认同的基础上一道认识中华文化的多样性及其包容性,才能从无限广阔的空间来继承和弘扬祖国传统的优秀文化.正是由于中华传统文化中的多样性和包容性特征,造就了多民族统一的国家的形成与延续,造就了中华民族较少含有种族歧视与民族血统论的偏见.我们完全可以说,文化的超越与文化的认同,是中华民族凝聚与发展的基本要素之一,任何过分强调或刻意彰显不同民族特殊性的做法,都是与中华民族的发展潮流所不相吻合的.
