晚清、民国时期,民间教门迅猛发展,同时期成长起来的人类学和社会学社区研究却对此鲜有关注,这一反差背后的原因值得学界思考。许烺光在西镇的研究为破解这一谜题提供了一个良机。根据田野回访和在当地发现的鸾书,他在西镇未能深入考察的圣谕坛其实是一个有着独特源流的民间教门组织,是宗族之外的重要社区力量。田野工作中的不足为他后来关于中国社会组织形态与变迁的理论失误埋下了伏笔。这一案例提醒我们,中国人类学和社会学需要修正以往局限于宗族组织和社区自身的视角,更加重视跨社区传播的民间教门在中国社会中的作用。
In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the folk religion developed rapidly. At the same time, the anthropological and sociological studies that grew up at the same time paid little attention to it. The reason behind this contrast deserves academic consideration. Xu Guangguang’s study in Xizhen provided a good opportunity to crack this mystery. According to the field visits and the books discovered there, the sacred encyclical that he failed to conduct in-depth inspections in Xizhen is actually a non-governmental organization with a unique origin and an important community force outside the clans. The shortcomings in field work laid the foundation for his later theoretical mistakes about the formation and changes of Chinese social organizations. This case reminds us that Chinese anthropology and sociology need to revise the perspective that was previously confined to the clan organizations and communities themselves, and pay more attention to the role of folk religions in cross-community communication in Chinese society.
