Abstract
현재 중국 사회에서는 문화 산업의 점차적인 성장으로 전통문화에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 전통문화의 지위와 역할도 전례 없는 주목을 받고 있다. 동시에 중국 정부와 사회 각계에서는 전통문화의 보존과 계승에 대한 중요성을 인식하고 있다. 이러한 모든 요인들은 소수 민족 문화 연구에 중요한 기회를 제공하고 있으며 특히 소수 민족의 민속문화를 학문적으로 연구하고 현대적인 실천을 통해 발전시키는 데 도움이 되고 있다. 장족은 중국 소수 민족 중에서 가장 인구가 많은 소수 민족으로, 옛날부터 영남지역에 거주해 왔다. 영남지역은 아열대 기후에 속하며, 여름에는 무덥고, 봄에는 강우가 풍부하다. 이러한 기후는 다양한 생물이 번성하며, 장족의 생산 생활에 좋은 자연적 조건을 제공했다. 장족은 역사가 유구하고 독특하며 풍부한 민속문화를 가지고 있다. 이러한 민속문화는 또한 장족의 독특한 다신 숭배의 신앙 체계와 밀접한 연관이 있다. 장족의 민속문화는 대부분 신앙 관념에 기반을 두고 있어, 많은 축제, 명절, 무용, 노래, 의식, 문학작품 등에서 장족 신앙문화의 흔적을 볼 수 있다. 장족의 민속문화와 신앙문화는 서로 의존하고 교직하며, 장족의 화려하고 다채로운 민족 문화를 형성했다. 본 연구는 우선 장족 명칭의 유래와 역사에서 시작하여, 장족 민속문화의 형성 과정과 특징을 정리해 왔다. 아울러 이를 바탕으로 장족 민속문화를 문학, 예술, 혼인과 장례식, 그리고 복식 이 네 가지 범주로 나누며 그 안에 내재된 신앙적 요소를 각각 논리적으로 설명했다. 그다음에 장족 민속문화와 신앙문화 간의 관계를 찾아냈다. 마지막으로 문화 정체성과 사회 통합, 도덕관과 가치관의 형성, 자연환경 보호와 생태 의식, 심리적 위로와 감정적 지지, 그리고 문화콘텐츠산업과 관광 자원이라는 다섯 가지 측면에서 장족 민속문화의 신앙적 요소 안에 내포된 가치와 현대에 대한 의의를 발견했다.
In contemporary Chinese society, there is a growing interest in traditional culture due to the gradual expansion of the cultural industry. The status and role of traditional culture are receiving unprecedented attention. Simultaneously, both the Chinese government and various sectors of society recognize the importance of preserving and inheriting traditional culture. All these factors provide significant opportunities for the study of minority cultures, particularly in researching the folklore of ethnic minorities and developing it academically and through modern practices. The Zhuang people, the largest ethnic minority in China, have long resided in the southern regions. The southern regions fall under a tropical climate, characterized by hot summers and abundant rainfall in spring. This climate has fostered diverse flora and fauna, providing favorable natural conditions for the Zhuang people's agricultural livelihoods. With a rich and unique history, the Zhuang people possess a vibrant folklore culture. This folklore culture is closely intertwined with the Zhuang people's distinctive polytheistic belief system. The folklore culture, rooted in religious concepts, is evident in various aspects such as festivals, traditional holidays, dance, songs, rituals, and literary works. The folklore and religious cultures of the Zhuang people mutually support and influence each other, shaping the elaborate and diverse ethnic culture of the Zhuang people. This study begins by exploring the origin and history of the Zhuang people's name and then proceeds to outline the formation process and characteristics of Zhuang folklore culture. Based on this foundation, Zhuang folklore culture is categorized into four main areas: literature, arts, marriage and funeral rituals, and attire. The inherent religious elements within each category are logically explained. Subsequently, the study identifies the relationship between Zhuang folklore culture and religious culture. Finally, the research uncovers the values embedded in the religious elements of Zhuang folklore culture in five aspects: cultural identity and social integration, the formation of ethics and values, environmental conservation and ecological awareness, psychological comfort and emotional support, and the significance in the modern context of cultural content industry and tourism resources.
