摘要
传统农业社会时期,祈雨作为一项重要的仪典广泛实践于国家与民间社会之中。在革命的话语体系以及追求现代化的进程中,祈雨被贴上“迷信”的标签之后便慢慢淡出了人们的视野。因此,早已失去既往意识形态支撑的祈雨仪式即便被组织起来,其目的也绝不是祈雨,而是夹杂着其他的利益诉求与考量。基于太行山区桃园村复原的祈雨仪式的田野调查,发现活动的组织者为了顺利将这项中断了五十多年的仪式重新启动,构建出一套新的话语体系进行策略试探以规避不必要的风险。可以说,仪式的复原既是社会记忆的再现与重构,更是乡村政治的仪式表达。
In the traditional agricultural society,praying for rain has been widely practiced in the state and civil society as an important ritual.However,under the discourse system of revolution and in the process of pursuing modernization,praying for rain has been labeled as“superstition”that gradually faded out of the sight of people.Hence,even if the ritual of praying for rain has been organized which had lost its support of the forepassed ideology for a long time,the purpose would never be praying for rain,but mixed with other interests and considerations of power.Based on the fieldwork about the renewed ritual of praying for rain in a village which is located in the Taihang Mountainous area,we found that although the organizers constructed a new discourse system to avoid unnecessary risks,thus to restart the ritual smoothly which has been suspended for over 50 years,the revitalization movement doesn't achieve the support of the majority,instead,villagers expressed their dissatisfactions with the village politics by using the ritual.As it were,the renewal of the ritual is not only the representation and reconstruction of social memory,but also the concentrated expression of the village politics.
