20世纪60年代,一位名叫玛格丽特·米德的人类学家就提出过“后喻文化”的概念。米德说,人类社会的发展分为三个阶段:前喻文化阶段、并喻文化阶段和后喻文化阶段,前喻的意思是人们的知识来源于前辈,前辈的过去就是他们的未来;并喻的意思是前辈的生活意见不再有参考价值,人们靠自我的探索和同辈的交流确立本时代的生活方式;后喻指前辈 In the 1960s, an anthropologist named Margaret Mead proposed the concept of “metaphorical culture.” Meade said that the development of human society is divided into three stages: the pre-cultural stage, metaphorical stage and post-metaphorical stage. The pre-metaphor means that people's knowledge comes from their predecessors. The past of their predecessors is their future. The meaning of metaphor is that seniors' views on life no longer have reference value. People rely on their own exploration and the exchange of their peers to establish the lifestyle of this era.
