Siziwang camel pile fete ceremony back in 2007,after more than ten years of development,now has become a sacrificial ceremony,camel,resistance,Shan Tuo winter cultural activities.It is held in winter every year.The sacrificial ceremony is based on the sacrifice of fire,and includes the folk ritual activities of the sacrifice of camel obao,camel stump and camel rope,which embodies the culture and custom of raising camels in the Sizi tribe.Camel-related sacrificial activities are common on the Mongolian plateau.In China,it is especially common in Alxa League,Bayannur League and Ordos City in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.There are many literature studies in these areas,but few of them take Sizi tribe as the research object.And research on Mongolian class ceremony in general is given priority to with the ceremony itself,that is biased towards the folklore,emphatically discusses the process and elements of ceremony held,and the symbolic significance in the ceremony,general is the plot of the Mongolian herdsmen precious little kill precious little hunting and their interaction with nature,not the herdsmen in the modern society under a threshold,lack for the study of interactive relationship in ritual,this article is based on this argument,is discussed.This thesis tries to put Inner Mongolia Volanqab city Siziwang Banner Naomugeng region as a field point,more in Siziwang banner in the local camel pile fete ceremony as the research object,from victor Turner’s proposed "symbolic interaction" point of view,to explain anthropology as a basic theory,focuses on the local people’s point of view and interpretation,discusses the traditional ceremony in contemporary subliminal acculturation and new function and connotation,and that in the contemporary,ceremony for the function of the local people and local society and the connotation is not limited to traditional in the sense of ritual,also to satisfy the local herdsmen in modern life under the spiritual and material needs.The paper is divided into four chapters and six parts,including the introduction and conclusion.The introduction introduces the significance and purpose of the topic,summarizes the literature review,and introduces the research methods and the overall framework of this paper.The first chapter mainly introduces the general situation of the field and the history of the local camel raising,summarizes the traditional camel raising custom of the Mongolian ethnic group and the local camel raising custom of the Sizi tribe,and then leads to the camel pile sacrifice ceremony of the Sizi tribe under this culture,and briefly describes the process of the ceremony from family sacrifice to group sacrifice.The second chapter studies the ceremony,introduces the process and elements of the ceremony and analyzes them.The third chapter introduces the concept of "tradition of invention" by explaining the function of the ritual through anthropology.The fourth chapter analyzes the content obtained from the research,and discusses the new meaning given by ritual under the threshold of contemporary field.The Siziwang Banner camel post sacrificial ceremony is more similar to the "tradition of invention" proposed by Trevor-Repo.It represents the spiritual needs and cultural values of the contemporary Mongolians.It is a performance of life scenes,while retaining the basic features of the ceremony in the ancient times,such as religious belief.Rituals represent different functions and effects for different participants,and the spiritual and material needs of all participants in the ceremony are met through "symbolic interaction".For modern society,it represents the camel pile sacrificial ceremony of Sizi tribe still has vigorous vitality in modern times.The content of most traditional rituals today is not the mechanical repetition of ancient customs,and rituals are constantly adapting to social changes.We need to take a dialectical attitude towards "inventive tradition",which is conducive to the preservation of ethnic culture,display of ethnic characteristics,and contribute to the contemporary ethnic integration and promotion of ethnic unity.
