Ba culture and Chu culture are both multi-source cultures, which are inherently endowed with the advantage of integration and inheritance. When they communicate with each other, they are prone to produce cultural phenomena that are neither here nor there, and the advantage of fusion and inheritance becomes even more obvious.
The tiger pattern of Chu style has been commonplace in places close to the Ba people. Far from the Ba people in the place is very rare, undoubtedly from the Ba-style tiger pattern. Ba-style bells and gongs, undoubtedly taken from the Chu-style bells and gongs, just the later years, the craft is thicker, the shape of production is simple.
Ba people to dry bar for living room, now known as "hanging foot". Qian surnamed Chu people from the Central Plains, at first with the dry bar has nothing to do. Later, the development of the "layer of platforms and pavilions", must be modeled after the dry bar to create, but there is a heel thing to increase the splendor of the wonderful. The Ba people's dry bar is probably learned from the Yue people, but out of the blue but blue in the blue of the wonderful. Ba people's descendants of the "footbridges" in southwest Hubei, northwestern Hunan, southeast Chongqing, northeast Chongqing, northeast Guizhou, and the most outstanding south of Hubei, the reason should be the distance from the old Chu Ying capital should be the closest, more or less with a layer of the legacy of the platforms and pavilions. Architecture, Ba and Chu's influence is two-way.
Jingmen Cheqiao unearthed copper Chi casting a strange image of God, it is difficult to solve. There are similar bronze chi excavated in Ba, however, there is no similar idol on it. As a result, the Cheqiao copper Chi's idol is derived from the beliefs of the Ba people or from the beliefs of the Chu people, or from the beliefs of the Ba people and the Chu people **** have, so far, can not be determined.
In the Warring States period, Ying had popular songs "Xia Li" and "Ba Ren". Scholars largely believe that "Xia Li" is a Chu song, "Ba Ren" is a Ba song. However, the Chu song and Ba song popular at the same time, the same place, each other inevitably influence each other, that is, the Chu song has the Ba style, and Ba song has the Chu style, which is still can not be determined.
Some cultural events, Ba people's and Chu people's similarity, early and late, difficult to distinguish, the source and flow is difficult to distinguish. For example, the Baren legend has salt water (Qingjiang) Goddess, Chu legend has Wushan Goddess, there is no lack of similarities with each other, some aspects are quite confusing, whether it is the Baren spread to the Chu people or Chu people spread to the Baren, or purely coincidental, but also because of the clues are not clear, not enough evidence is still unresolved cases.
Whether in the Ba culture and Chu culture, with anthropological terminology, there are cross culture, that is, hybrid culture or mixed culture components, its genetic advantage that is derived. The interaction between the Ba and Chu peoples, as well as the exchange between the Ba and Chu cultures, has a long history and far-reaching influence. Therefore, regardless of ethnicity and culture, there is Ba in Chu while there is Chu in Ba.
At the latest, there has been a cultural exchange relationship between Ba and Chu since the reign of Xiongqu, the ruler of Chu.
At the latest, from the reign of King Wu of Chu, Ba and Chu had a relationship of envoys.
At the latest, from the reign of King Wu of Chu, Ba and Chu had intermarried.
There were immigrants and soldiers from Chu in Ba, such as the Kui males, and soldiers from the Chu army stationed in Ba County (Wu County). Chu land, on the other hand, there are Ba people and Chu people living in the wrong place, Jiangling Tuojiang Temple had found the East Zhou period of the Ba people settlement, Jingmen Cheqiao had found with the Chu tombs in the same place of the tomb of the Ba people.
Ba tombs in the occasional Chu ware unearthed, and Chu tombs in the occasional Ba ware unearthed.
It can be asserted that the relationship between Ba culture and Chu culture is not a plate structure, and it is not a double-fish-shaped Taijitu structure. They are intertwined, intertwined, interpenetrating, complementary, and difficult to separate. As a historical culture and regional culture, BaChu culture has never been a binary composite cultural entity of BaChu. Composite, the beginning of the coupling, followed by fusion.
Bamboo words are the product of the fusion of Ba Chu culture and heredity, and have the advantage of elegance and popularity **** appreciation.
Modern and modern folk songs and dances in South Eshinan are also the products of the genetic fusion of Ba-chu culture, with the advantages of both simplicity and oddity. "1, the result of national integration; 2, the crystallization of cultural exchanges; 3, national conquests and alliances contributed to; 4, the natural geographic conditions and ecological environment." It can be said to be in one sentence. But from the point of view of folk culture, it seems that two articles can be renewed: one is the "tie-up" policy adopted by the feudal rulers of Xiang-E-Chu-Guizhou area for the descendants of Ba people since the Qin-Han period; the other is that the descendants of the Ba people in this closed environment - the Tujia people have inherited Ba-Chu culture. The second is that in this closed environment, the Tujia people, the descendants of Ba people, inherited the Ba and Chu culture. The long-established Ba-chu culture can not be interrupted and disappeared and become a historical culture. Of course, we see today's living Ba Chu culture mainly exists in the Tujia (and its border with the old Chu this area) in the folk culture.
All in all, Ba Chu culture is a regional historical culture, which is mainly distributed in the border area of five provinces and cities of Chongqing, Shaanxi, Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou, with the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River as the center of its activities. According to the "Guangming Daily" on the "Three Gorges Yichang zone of the Ba Chu culture," an analysis of the article, Ba Chu culture mainly has the following characteristics: one is the overlap of the geographical cross, the second is the core of the deep fusion, the third is the inter-ethnic marriage intermarriage, and the fourth is the culmination of the customs of the mixing of the same.
In my humble opinion: Ba Chu culture research should be "based on a city (Yichang), with two water (frustrated Zhanghe, Qingjiang River - respectively, for the Chu, Ba culture, the birthplace, the place of prosperity), relying on the Three Gorges, radiation in all directions". Yichang is not only the meeting place of Ba and Chu culture, but also at the intersection of ancient culture deposition belt and Yangtze River economic development belt, tie up the hinterland of Ba and Chu culture. Economically developed, convenient transportation, talent convergence, the study of Ba-chu culture accounted for all the "timing, location, people and", not to mention that we in the development of Ba-chu cultural resources has been a useful attempt: according to the Tujia wedding customs of the creation of the "Tuliba people" dance drama, has been awarded the Ministry of Culture, "Wenhua Grand Prize! The dance drama "Tuli Ba Ren" based on the marriage customs of the Tujia people has won the "Wenhua Grand Prize" of the Ministry of Culture and the "Five One Project" Award of the Ministry of Publicity; the "Ba Chu Music Palace", which is based on the imitation of unearthed musical relics of the Ba Chu people, receives hundreds of thousands of tourists every year; the folk songs and dances of the Tujia people in Changyang have gained a good reputation overseas; and the "Folk Literature Collection of Three Gorges Songs, Stories, Proverbs〉》is well received ......
The above favorable local conditions, coupled with Hunan, Hubei and Chongqing provinces and cities experts, scholars, support and guidance, so that in a relatively short period of time we have realized the project of Bachu culture, academic research and collection of books of long-cherished wish. Here, I would like to support and help us experts and scholars to express my sincere gratitude.
The term "Bachu culture" not only covers history and reality, but also shows the grandeur of inclusive and open spirit.
"China's topography can be roughly divided into three terraces from west to east and from high to low. The area where the upper reaches of the Yangtze River meets the middle reaches of the Yangtze River lies at the eastern edge of the middle part of the second ladder and the western edge of the middle part of the third ladder. Here are dangerous gorges and rapids with mountains and mountains, remote and poor, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the rhythm of history is much more soothing than that of the Great Plains in the east and the Great Basin in the west. If you are in the deepest part of the deep mountains, this is like the people in the Peach Blossom Garden, said the cultural and cultural excellence, for the history of Chinese culture has written a glorious and brilliant page."
