Abstract

本文透過對中國廣西靖西壯人如何使用竹編容器Ɂɐn1kj5之描述,以及對該物之描述所引申出對其內所裝載的主要內容物──米與肉與壯族人觀的探討,作為審視中國學術界所提出的「那文化圈」與「花文化圈」的一個起點。文中首先回顧那文化圈與花文化圈的文獻,接著描述Ɂɐn1kj5的製作、販賣與價值,然後再陳述Ɂɐn1kj5的使用時機與方式,並對其內所裝載之物在壯族人觀構成上的意義進行探討,最後,討論Ɂɐn1kj5的溝通性與生熟的轉換性,正是可以把那文化與花文化結合起來,用以顯示出壯族文化的核心。
This paper describes the uses and meanings of a special Zhuang bamboo basket and its contents in Jingxi County, Guangxi Self-Governing Region. On the one hand, this Ɂɐn1kj5 bamboo basket is simply used for the transport of rice and meat. On the other hand, however, this bamboo basket is an important site for the expression of Zhuang notions of personhood. This article considers two aspects essential to the Zhuang construction of persons as already described in the extent Chinese-language scholarly literature: (1) fields (na) and (2) flowers (hua). This extent Chinese-language literature describes fields and flowers each as at the center of a cultural sphere. That is, in both the sphere involves the history and distribution of a set of tightly integrated cultural concepts. The thesis of this paper is that an examination of the cultural meanings pragmatic uses of Ɂɐn1kj5 bamboo baskets, their contents, and ritual uses shows how the two spheres of fields and flowers are in fact connected. Most specifically, this article shows that the connection between the two spheres turns on the contrast between raw (fields) and cooked (flowers) and persons.
