“重母性”是白族传统文化的重要特质,表现为白族人对天依然保存着“母性”的称谓、民间文学以“母性”故事为主、日常用语遵循“以母为大”的原则及生殖文化格外崇尚女阴崇拜等。探讨白族文化的母性特质和传承机理对我国和谐社会的伦理道德建设和男女平等事业的发展具有重要的跨文化启示。
"Esteeming mother" is one of the most important characteristics of Bai's traditional culture. "Esteeming mother" is reflected in Bai's maternal appellation toward heaven, in the maternal thematic folk stories, in piety activities, and in vulvae worship. The maternal characteristics and inheritance mechanism of Bai culture carry important cross-culture enlightenment toward the ethical construction and gender equality in our harmonious society.
