馕：一个多民族共享文化符号的生成逻辑

摘要

摘 要：本文通过考察馕从绿洲生计食物到仪式性凝聚纽带再到全国性公共符号的形态演变，揭示其跨越族群边界的生成逻辑。研究发现，绿洲生态适配性奠定了多民族共同生计的物质根基，日常共食与人生仪典的仪式实践编织起跨族群的价值认同纽带，当代产业、媒介与制度则进一步拓展了其共享场域。同时，馕的当代符号化进程也伴随着标准化与本真性、流量传播与文化深度、外部建构与内生传承的三重张力，其传承发展需在动态平衡中推进。

Abstract

Abstract:This paper explores the morphological evolution of nang — from a staple food adapted to oasis livelihoods, to a cohesive bond embedded in ritual practices, and eventually to a nationwide public cultural symbol — so as to unpack its generative logic across ethnic boundaries. The study concludes that the ecological adaptability of Xinjiang oases underpins the material foundation for the shared livelihood of diverse ethnic groups; daily communal dining and ritual observances throughout the life-cycle have forged bonds of cross-ethnic identity; modern food industries, mass media and institutional arrangements have further expanded the boundary of this shared cultural space. Nevertheless, the ongoing symbolization of nang in contemporary times is marked by three interwoven tensions: standardization versus cultural authenticity, online viral communication versus in-depth cultural connotation, external cultural shaping versus endogenous cultural inheritance. The inheritance and sustainable development of nang culture ought to be promoted through maintaining dynamic balance among these tensions.
