本书是国才教授40余年学术研究之重要成果,是对白族传统道德、村落文化、妇女文化的社会学研究。40余年来,她铆定这一专题,坚定不移,孜孜不倦研究至今,汇聚、凝炼研究成果而得此著作。该书对于认识白族思想文化的特点,以及白族与汉族、彝族等各兄弟民族思想文化的交流、交往与交融,都很有意义。本书聚集着丰富的田野调查成果,同时这些客观、科学的调查中,又都渗透着作者真实、切身的体验。本书主要是社会学、人类学的实证研究,同时又有哲学思维的追究和思考。在我看来,这是本书的重要特点,是其难能可贵而能立足学界之处。
国才教授是改革开放以来进入学术领域的,她40年来朝气蓬勃,努力奋进,在教书育人、学术研究、学报编辑以及社会工作等诸多方面,都卓有建树。在我看来,她属我等之后的年青一代,是随改革开放而成长的、积极有为的年青一代学者。本书体现着这一代学者的风貌、特点和成就,今日出版很有意义。她嘱我作序,实不敢当,勉为简文,以示老者赞扬、祝贺之意。

优秀传统文化是中华民族的基因,是民族文化的命脉。长期以来,白族在与其他民族的交往交流交融中,吸收了其他民族的优秀文化,形成了自己特有的传统伦理道德文化。白族传统道德文化在日常生活中规范人们的行为,并以家风家训家规的形式约束人们的行动。具体的道德准则体现在人生礼仪、节日文化中的道德要求、商帮贸易中的道德规范、民居建筑中的伦理观念、本主信仰中的伦理思想、碑刻中的乡规民约及村落文化中。本书由白族哲学伦理道德文化、白族村落文化的保护与发展、白族文化及妇女生育和教育观念的变迁3篇组成。
白族历史悠久,文化灿烂。研究白族历史、文学、教育、文艺的学者很多,有关的书籍也非常多。但从哲学的视角研究白族文化中伦理道德的书籍还不多见。可以说,该书对白族优秀传统伦理道德在白族地区的传承与保护,社会主义核心价值观的树立,及乡村振兴中伦理道德规范都具有重要的理论价值及现实意义。
本书的出版,一是体现出作者的文化自觉与自信,作者以对白族文化的热爱,探索了本民族文化中的伦理道德观念;二是能丰富对白族哲学思想、伦理道德的研究;三是从新的视角关注村落、村落中的妇女、村落生态环境;四是在白族地区的乡村振兴、产业转型、健康产业的发展,对规范人们的行为规范,提升道德水平都具有重要的价值。
本书作者为白族,从小受白族文化的熏陶,成长于苍山洱海之滨的白族村落,大学学习哲学,毕业后长期从事民族文化的教育与研究,走遍白族地区的村落进行白族传统文化的调查,以白族文化持有者的身份进入田野,通过口述史、文献研究方法收集资料。在此基础上,充分挖掘白族传统文化中的伦理道德观念,并以村落、民居建筑照壁、节日活动、本主庙、碑刻为载体,发现其传统伦理道德对人们行为的约束及规范作用,进而探讨白族伦理道德的内涵及价值。
An excellent traditional culture is a gene of the Chinese nation and the lifeblood of national culture.Over a long period of time,the Bai nationality have absorbed the excellent culture of other ethnic groups through exchanges and blends with them,and have formed their own unique traditional ethical and moral culture.The Bai traditional ethical culture regulates people's behaviour in daily life and restrains their actions in the form of family customs and family rules.Specific moral codes are reflected in the rituals of life,the moral requirements of festival culture,the ethical norms in merchant trade,the ethical concepts in the residential building,the ethical ideas in the beliefs of the native patron god,the village rules and regulations in inscriptions and the village culture.The book consists of three chapters on Bai philosophy,ethics and moral culture,the preservation and development of Bai village culture,and the changing attitudes of Bai women to childbirth and education.
The Bai people have a long history and a splendid culture.Many scholars have studied Bai history,literature,education andart,also there are many books on the subject.However,there are not many books that study ethics and morality in Bai culture from a philosophical perspective.It can be said that this book has important theoretical value and practical significance for the transmission and protection of the excellent traditional ethics in the Bai region,the establishment of core socialist values and the revitalisation of the countryside.
The significance of the publication of this book is that,firstly,it reflects the author's cultural self-awareness and self-confidence.With a deep and heated love for the Bai culture,the author explores the ethical and moral concepts in the culture ofhis people.Secondly,it can enrich the study of Bai philosophical thought,ethics and morality.Thirdly,it focuses on villages,women in villages and village ecology from a new perspective.Fourthly,it is important in the revitalisation of villages,industrial transformation and the development of health industries in Bai areas,in regulating people's behavioural norms and in raising the level of moral value.
The author,who is from the Bai group,was brought up with Bai culture and grew up in a Bai village on the shores of the Cang Mountains and the Er Sea.She studied philosophy at university and has been engaged in education and research on ethnic culture for a long time after graduation.She travelled around the villages in the Bai region to conduct a survey of Bai traditional culture,entering the field as a Bai culture holder and collecting information through oral history and documentary research methods.On this basis,the author fully explores the ethical and moral concepts in Bai traditional culture,and uses villages,the folk residential buildings Zhaobi,festivals,temples of the Patron God,and inscriptions as carriers to discover the binding and regulating effects of their traditional ethics and morals on people's behaviour,so as to explore the connotations and values of Bai ethics and morals.
