传说、农民和道德--以闽西九洲村“红娘过缸”“乌油钵”故事为例

摘要

本文介绍了闽西农村流传的“红娘过缸”与“乌油钵”两则传说，通过对它们表述方式的对比和探讨，试图讨论传说故事在农村社会中的历史与现实意义，指出其背后存在的逻辑差异在于不同群己界定下的伦理判断，农民在进行决策时以“我”为中心，并在此基础上创造、流传出“合乎人伦常理”的规约型传说，这些传说因社会精英的改造、推广从而流传范围远近不同。%The article has introduced two pieces of legendary in rural areas in Western Fujian:"Hong-niang Guogang"and"Wuyou Bo".Through the comparison and discussion of their narrations,the ar-ticle tries to discuss the historical and practical significance of legendary stories in rural society,and holds that the logical difference behind them lies in the different moral j udgement of different groups. Peasants are self-centered in decision making,and on this basis they have created and spread regula-ted legendary in accordance with humane moralities.The legendary is reformed and spread by social elites,and thus has different spread ranges.
