中国当代少数民族之所以有自我认同和他人认同,就是因为各民族都拥有着自己涌流不息的母语口头传统,都运用自己的母语进行族群历史叙事与文明的传承与传播。当代母语书面文学创作其实是不同程度地、各有特色地延续和传承着各民族的口头传统,受源远流长的口头传统的制约和影响。异彩纷呈的少数民族母语口头传统已经一脉相承地成为各民族当代母语文化创造的核心资源,也是各民族母语文化不断变异和发展的例证。本文以彝族为例对各少数民族口头传统与当代母语书面创作关系问题进行分析。 The reason why contemporary Chinese minorities have self-identity and identity with others is that all ethnic groups have their own verbal native-tongue tradition, all using their own mother tongue to carry on the historical narration of ethnic groups and the transmission and spread of civilization. In fact, the writing of contemporary mother tongue is actually to varying degrees, each with its own characteristics and continuation of the oral traditions of all ethnic groups, subject to the long tradition of the verbal constraints and influence. The vivid oral traditions of ethnic minorities have become the core resources for the creation of contemporary mother tongue cultures of all ethnic groups in the same line, and they are also examples of the constant variation and development of the mother tongue cultures of various ethnic groups. Taking Yi as an example, this paper analyzes the relationship between the oral traditions of ethnic minorities and the written writing of contemporary mother tongues.
