穿越时空的原始技艺--海南黎族原始制陶技艺的存因探究

摘要

The primitive pottery skills of the Li people on Hainan Island is an intangible cultural heritage of China.This paper discussed the reasons on how the Li tribe has preserved its ancient pottery craftsmanship for over 5000 years.There are four main reasons:firstly, the long primitive society restricted the development of the origi-nal pottery technique of the Li tribe;secondly, the unique groups of Li people provided makers and consumers with the original pottery skills;thirdly, the “barter” transaction mode provided trading opportunities to Li pottery;and finally the ease in the use of the technique made it possible for Li families to produce simple pottery as a family sideline.As such, the valuable intangible cultural heritage in the primitive era-the pottery skill of the Li tribe in Hainan-has been well preserved from generation to generation until now.%海南黎族的原始制陶技艺穿越了五千多年的时空，活态保存了新石器时代人类早期制陶时的工艺形态。正是由于漫长的原始社会进程制约了黎族原始制陶技术的发展，独特的“生黎”群体为黎族原始制陶提供了必要的生产者和消费者，“以物易物”的方式为黎族原始制陶产品提供了基本的交易机会，其制作简便的工艺为黎族妇女提供了在家中业余制陶的可能性等几个原因，使得这项来自原始时期的珍贵非物质文化遗产能够完好地活态传承到今天。
