摘要
在今天中国的民族工艺品和旅游纪念品市场中,"藏银"已成为一个颇为流行的物质标签。以"藏银"之名制造、消费的商品占有显著的市场份额。在旅游人类学视域下,"藏银"同时作为"物"与"物的观念表达",折射了中国多民族国家想象与认同实践中物质性与族群性的复杂关联,其社会性建构过程也因而关涉到:(1)藏族古老的合金制造技艺如何表达了特定的族群文化传统;(2)"藏银"之物与名如何在汉藏互动的历史进程中生成与变迁;(3)借助旅游消费时代的"社会炼金术","藏银"之名如何经由重构、挪用与泛化而成为牟利的商业策略;(4)围绕"藏银"展开的记忆、叙事、制造和消费,如何隐喻了当代民族旅游的深层社会政治结构及其实践逻辑。
Zangyin(藏银), known as"Tibetan Silver", has become a very popular material label in the current ethnic crafts and souvenirs market of China. Different items have been made, traded and consumed in the name of Zangyin, and gained a remarkable commercial success. However, what Zangyin actually refer to still waits to be explored. From a synchronic point of view, this paper aims to examine how Zangyin, both as"material"and"representation of material"in tourist industry, reflects the complicated interweaves between materiality and ethnicity in the imagination and identification practice of the multi-ethnic China. From a diachronic perspective, this paper explores the manifold social construction process of Zangyin. In details,(a) how the traditional skill of silver alloy making was created by ancient Tibetan artisans to express their culture;(b) how the name and material of Zangyin developed and changed in the long-term interaction process between Tibetan and the Dynasties of China's Inner Plains, and then took on its historical character of"impurity";(c) how Zangyin was reconstructed, appropriated and generalized as a general material category and a successful commercial strategy to pursue profits through the"social alchemy"of material in the mass tourism age; and(d) how those memories, narratives, material making and consumption about Zangyin were integrated into, and in turn reflected the imagination and construction of the multi-ethnic relationship in the contemporary China.In the name of Zangyin, materials could reflect some core ideas of value, beauty and tradition that represent the distinctive characteristics of an ethnic culture. Meanwhile, by producing and consuming those similar ethnic souvenirs of different minority peoples such as Zangyin(Tibetan silver), Miaoyin(silver of Miao people), Qiangyin(silver of Qiang people) and Daiyin(silver of Dai people), etc., the hidden hierarchy of different"Inner Otherness"and the pattern of"Diversity in Unity of the Chinese Nation"could be continually perceived and confirmed by individuals, then embodied in their experiences of daily life. The"social alchemy"of Zangyin thus reveals two facts here: firstly, historical changes,dislocations and reconnections between the name and the flexible entities of Zangyin have built up basis for the balance between its cultural and commodity values in the souvenir market; secondly, the transformation from imagining to consuming "the Other" partly depends on if there is room for cross-cultural interpretation between China's different kinds of minority"Otherness"and the majority"Self"—Han people. I would further argue that the interaction between materiality and ethnicity has always interwoven in the comprehensive social-political framework of nation state. It is neither direct nor transparent, but needs to be interrogated deeper under the dynamical view of anthropological tourism studies.

(1)“宝藏”二字在此并非“财宝、珍宝”之义。根据清代货币铸造和流通体制,“宝”字取自历代铸币传统中常用的“通宝”二字,意为“流通宝币”;而“藏”字,则指西藏,为银币铸造的具体地区,如同一时期的“宝陕局”“宝浙局”等。“宝藏银币”即西藏“宝藏局”所铸之银币[5]246-247。参见布尔努瓦.西藏的黄金和银币——历史、传说与演变[M]耿昇译.北京:中国藏学出版社,1999:246-247。
