中国的乡村和乡愁
与绵亘久远的“⼈⽣四问”——我是谁？我从哪⾥来？为什么在这⾥？要到哪⾥去？——相似，今天⾝处全球化、城市化浪潮中的中国⼈常常在反思：乡村从哪⾥来？她是怎么运作的？她的命运即将终结了吗？改⾰开放以来，中国社会经济飞速发展，城市⾥⾼楼⼤厦拔地⽽起，⽽⼈民公社时代熙熙攘攘的村庄却逐渐变得寂静⽆声。⾯对都市消费⽂化的⾼歌猛进，传统农耕⽂明并未“理所当然”的退出历史舞台，乡愁更是成为了当代中国⽂化中⼀道难以磨灭的印记。本演讲以浙江省缙云县为例，试图从乡村的落地⽣根、发展壮⼤到逐渐衰败的历史脉络中，探寻当代中国乡村的命运。
Rural China and Nostalgia
Along the lines of the “four universal questions of life” – who I am, where I come from, why I am here, and where I am going, Chinese people are confronted with another critical set of questions in the high tide of globalization and urbanization: how villages come into being, how they operate, and whether they are destined to die out. Reform-era China has witnessed an exponential growth in terms of its national economy and skyscrapers springing up everywhere in cities, juxtaposed with “silenced”, completely hollowed-out villages that once bustled with activity during the People’s Commune period. Facing the seemingly triumphant march of urban consumerist culture, legacies of traditional agricultural civilization have not been easily wiped out, instead rural nostalgia has become a significant symbol in China’s contemporary popular culture. This presentation will use villages in Jinyun, Zhejiang Province as a case study to analyze the historical trajectory of rural China and envision its path into the future.
迎案：乡村“狂欢节”
“迎案”是浙江省缙云县民间⾃发组织、⾃发参与，集民间信仰和传统武术、杂技、舞蹈、造型、戏剧、美术、器乐为⼀体的⼤型娱神乐众、禳灾祈福民俗活动。经千余年的发展，迎案的举⾏遍及缙云全县，贯穿⼀年四季，每年达到20 场次。其热闹场⾯已远远超过当地春节、元宵等重⼤的传统节庆活动，是缙云民间当之⽆愧的“狂欢节”。本演讲将全⾯展⽰迎案活动所汇集的丰富多彩的民间艺术形式，深⼊剖析其所包涵的信仰崇拜、民风民俗等历史⽂化信息，并着⼒探讨保护、传承这⼀⾮遗项⽬的紧迫性与挑战性。
Ying An: The Rural Carnival
Ying An is a generic term used to describe a series of interrelated self-organized and entertaining rural rituals, through which worship is devoted to a multiplicity of mythological figures in Jinyun, Zhejiang Province. This particular set of rituals combines folk beliefs with a variety of cultural performances, such as traditional martial arts, acrobatics, dances, operas, paintings, instrumental playing, and so on. With a history of over a thousand years, Ying An is now held all around the Jinyun County with 20 different rituals throughout the entire year. As a rural “carnival”, its scale and significance in the local context have already transcended other nationwide traditional festivals, such as the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival. This talk will give a detailed and vivid presentation of different forms of folk arts involved in Ying An, decipher the historical meanings and cultural codes of these activities, and discuss the urgency and challenges in preserving this intangible cultural heritage.
