王京:《永尾龙造<中国民俗志>的编撰背景与特色》,《文化遗产》2023年第6期。

【内容摘要】日本在明治时代以后,对中国的研究进入了新的阶段。涉及方方面面,重视实地调查,成为其显著特色,民俗也成为其对象之一。整体而言,明治时代至二战结束,即近代日本的中国民俗研究,由于其关注的对象、主要内容与实际的扩张及统治政策关系较为间接,研究者也并未有组织地参与战争进程和殖民地统治,正面而言保留了一定的独立性,负面而言其研究也呈现出相当的个人性和零散性。永尾龙造的《中国民俗志》(1940—1942)可以说是当时体系性描述中国民俗全貌的为数不多的尝试,但此前学界对之了解甚少。挖掘日本及中国的档案文献,结合其他相关资料,整理《中国民俗志》从计划到出版的背景及历程,展示其全貌,探究其特色,有助于我们加深对这一时代日本的中国民俗研究及其资料的理解。

The Background and Characteristics of Chinese Folklore Series by Nagao Ryuzo

Wang Jing

Abstract: After the Meiji period, Japan’s study of China entered a new phase, involving various aspects including the study of folklore, and the emphasis on field investigations has become its distinctive feature. Overall, the study of Chinese folklore, its objects of interest and main contents in modern Japan from the Meiji period to the end of World War II, was indirectly related to territorial expansion, and colonial policies. Researchers did not participate in the war process or colonial rule in an organized way. As a result, the study of Chinese folklore in Japan maintained a certain degree of independence on the positive side, but also showed a considerable degree of individualism and fragmentation. Chinese Folklore Series (1940-1942) by Ryuzo Nagao can be considered one of the few systematic attempts to describe the panorama of Chinese folklore at that time, although the academic world had little understanding of it previously. By excavating archival documents from Japan and China, and combining them with other relevant materials, a comprehensive understanding of the background and process from planning to publication of Chinese Folklore Series and the exploration of its characteristics can help us deepen our understanding of China folklore study in Japan and its materials during this era.
