肖宇强：《海外藏中国民俗文物研究的四重维度——以美国大都会博物馆藏中国服饰为中心》，《民族艺术》2022年第6期。

【内容摘要】海外藏中国民俗文物众多，此类文物是民俗学学科极为珍视的素材资料。美国大都会博物馆藏有诸多中国传统服饰，借助民俗文物的定义并将这些服饰与其他人类学、民族学博物馆所藏服饰进行横向对比可知，大都会博物馆所藏的多数中国服饰都具有民俗文物的特性。若要系统地研究这些服饰，则需在对其重新分类的基础上，追溯服饰的流传历史、挖掘其民俗内涵与价值、探索此类文物的“回归”路径与创新利用方式。这四重研究维度能帮助获悉彼时我国民俗文物流失海外的社会背景和异国他馆的收藏目的，验证对他国馆藏文物再分类的准确性、对在海外未能回流的珍稀民俗文物实施数字化保存与传播，唤起国内民众对于海外藏我国民俗文物的关注度，增进海内外中华儿女的民族共同体意识及对民俗文化的认同。

Four Dimensions of the Research on Overseas Chinese Folk Relics：

Centered on the Collection of Chinese Costumes in the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Xiao Yuqiang

Abstract: There are many folk cultural relics in China collected overseas, which are very precious materials for folklore. There are many traditional costumes of China in the Metropolitan Museum of America. With the help of the definition of folk cultural relics and the horizontal comparison of these costumes with those in other anthropological and ethnological museums, it can be seen that most of China costumes in the Metropolitan Museum have the characteristics of folk cultural relics. If we want to study these costumes systematically, we need to trace back the spread history of costumes, explore their folk connotation and value, and explore the “return” path and innovative utilization methods of such cultural relics on the basis of reclassification. These four research dimensions can help us to know the social background of the loss of Chinese folk cultural relics overseas and the collection purpose of other foreign museums at that time, verify the accuracy of the reclassification of cultural relics collected in other countries, digitally preserve and disseminate rare folk cultural relics that have not returned overseas, arouse the attention of domestic people to the overseas collection of Chinese folk cultural relics, and enhance the national community awareness and recognition of folk culture of Chinese children at home and abroad.
