治民族研究,民族叙事中“历史记忆“是民族志的核心问题;而仪式这一历史“贮存器“(COnTAInEr)不仅成为一个民族叙事、表述和传承的“缘生形式“,它本身就是一个容纳了历史记忆、族群认同和策略选择的有效样本。文章以瑶族盘瓠神话以及瑶族的“还盘王愿“祭祀仪式为例,借用人类学仪式理论,对瑶族历史中的诸如族群认同,英雄祖先的神话叙事,仪式中的样式等进行分析。试图证明社会历史记忆作为族群的一种策略性选择,与族群认同和在特殊情境下的生存关系有着直接的关系。Th e "Historical Memory" of ethnic narratives is the core issue of ethnography in ethnic study, and the historical "container"- ritual is not only the "genesis form" for the narrative, expression, and spreading of an ethnic group, it is also an effective sample containing historical memory, ethnic identity, and strategy selection for itself.By taking the Yaos' Panhu myth and Ceremony of Repaying the Panwang as examples, and based on the ritual theory of anthropology, this article makes an analysis on the Yaos' historical issues such as ethnic identity, mythological narratives of heroic ancestors, ritual styles and so on.It tries to prove that the social and historical memory, as a strategic choice of the ethnic group, bears a direct relation to the ethnic identity and survival relation in special situations.国家社科基金重大项目“中国非物质文化遗产体系探索研究”(11&ZD123
