| The De’ang are a cross-border ethnic group on the border of southwest China.Along with the popularity of the Internet in the information age,communication within cross-border ethnic minority groups has become increasingly close.Cultural identity is a deep-level identity.Chinese culture was created by fifty-six ethnic groups,and the history of Chinese civilization was accomplished by all ethnic groups together.The study of the De’ang creation epic“Da-gu-da-leng-ge-lai-biao”will further improve the historical and cultural values of the De’ang,help the De’ang grasp the ethnic spirit,enhance ethnic cultural self-confidence,complete ethnic self-construction,and form a Chinese cultural identity and ethnic identity from spontaneous to conscious,thus promoting ethnic unity and social stability.Through the compilation and analysis of the“Da-gu-da-leng-ge-lai-biao” mark,it is clear that the object of the study is the "gourd" and "Longyang" artifacts that have been transformed.The two types of artifacts,their shapes,and color decoration are sorted out,and a comparative study is conducted with artifacts of other ethnic groups to outline the design aesthetic awareness and the development path of the artifacts.On this basis,we analyze the causes of the design of the artifacts in terms of the specific conditions of the artifact-making activities and the emotional and psychological demands of the artifact owners,sort out the cultural regional and ethnic psychological factors contained in them,and then reveal the ethnic spirit and cultural identity contained in the artifacts of“Da-gu-da-leng-ge-lai-biao”.The study shows that the shape and decoration of the "gourd" artifacts are mainly based on the observation of the natural environment and living customs of the times and localities,while the active development of the artifacts originates from the trusts of the ancestors,the demands of people for the use of the artifacts and the influence of the neighboring ethnic groups;The creative development of the "Longyang" artifacts and the gradual unification of the image with that of the Central Plains mainly originate from the fact that the dragon image itself is the result of the spread of the culture of the Central Plains,and later in the development of the integration of the ethnic ecological culture,becoming the dragon image with the characteristics of the De’ang.Nowadays,the process of cultural reorganization and historical construction has been accomplished spontaneously and consciously as the owner of the country,through the care of the state and the completion of the current ethnic psychological adjustment.The "gourd" artifacts and the "Longyang" artifacts,as the formation of the origin and beliefs of the De’ang people,together testify to the "heart’s desire" of the De’ang people and form the authentication and certification of the pluralistic pattern of the Chinese nation.The narrative of the“Da-gu-da-leng-ge-lai-biao”artifacts highlights the cultural message of the common origin of the ethnic group,reflecting the cultural identity of the De’ang people in the genetic depth of the cultural transmission of the same origin and the promotion of the ethnic identity through this identity. |
