摘要
本文以现在能收集到的闽台《江氏族谱》为分析个案,重点讨论这支在两岸有众多族人的“客家江氏”如何追寻祖先的历史过程及其意义。文章认为“客家江氏”追寻祖先的历程是渐进式的,从永定谱系到上杭谱系再到江万里家族,脉络相当清楚。每次更换或认同新的祖先都是宗族文化构建的重要组成部分,与当时的社会发展需求息息相关。族谱的编撰尽管是掌握书写权利的个人所为,对祖先的追寻也不具有学术的科学性和严谨性,但从较长的历史过程看,却是无组织的集体行为,是宗族集体实践的一种结果,里面浸透着中华文化深沉积淀的基本内涵和人文精神。
Based on Family Tree of Jiang Clan in Fujian and Taiwan on hand, this paper particularly examines the history of Jiang Clan, which has a large population in Fujian and Taiwan, traces back their ancestors, and the meaning of such an activity. This paper holds that the activity of tracing back ancestors is obviously in succession, that is, from family tree in Yongding, to that in Shanghang, and finally to the family of Jiang Wangli. The Changing or recognizing of new ancestors each time is an important part for the construction of clan culture and in close relation with social development at that time. The compilation of family tree is an individual action of persons responsible, and the activity of tracing back ancestors is not the scientific meaning and solidity from the angle of academy. However, such an activity, in a long run, is a collective one without organization and the result of collective practice of clan, and prevails itself the basic meanings and humanity senses embraced in China Culture.
