摘要：

民间习俗是理解一个社会与文化的重要信息库。本文通过对浙江绍兴地区岁末“祝福”习俗中各种文化象征符号的解读，从“成熟与收获”、“死亡与离别”、“终结与回归”三种文化图式上来分解“终结”这一时间概念所蕴涵的复杂意义。目的在于理解中国人“看”世界的一种方式，作为探讨文化生产与再生产问题的基础。

关键词: 祝福习俗 , “看”, 符号, 文化图式

Abstract:

Folk customs are rich in the information that is extremely important to an understanding of a society and its cultures. This paper interprets the cultural symbols of a special folk custom， known as “Zhufu” or blessing， practiced at the end of the Chinese year in Shaoxing region， Zhejiang providence of China. Three cultural patterns， namely， “maturity and harvest，” “death and departure，” and “end and revenant，” are examined to decompose the complex multiple meanings embedded within the concept of “end” in its temporal sense. Our objectives are to understand a special worldview of the Chinese people and to explore the foundation for the production and reproduction of a culture.

Key words: Zhufu, “observe”, symbol, cultural pattern
