Ecology And Ritual:Ritual Research From The Perspective Of Niche Theory

This paper selects the ceremony as the research object,the associated ecological and life idea,the integration of the niche theory and the theory of life philosophy from the perspective of what happened to act as a starting point,from the individual to the social network continues to expand,the ceremony to restore anthropological context,restore to the ecosystem,will " between the main body of life philosophy in perspective,the study of ritual "reconciliation" and "hybridity"function and cultural niche construction.On the basis of combing the ritual studies in Chinese and Western literature,we draw a conclusion through comparative study that ritual is human's life behavior and all ritual studies are carried out around life.Putting the ritual in the perspective of ecological theory is to put the ritual life behavior in the perspective of the holistic view of ecology,and extend the research of ritual in anthropology,in order to explore the gradual progress of ecological theory to multi-level research.This paper mainly uses the theory of niche,combing through the concept of "niche" production to the formation of niche theory and rich,and presents three life Niche Theory--for people based on the ecological system of each nation,there are a variety of resources factor,there are various cultural factors.There must be one of the most important cultural factor of making it become a type;any one nation must have an ecological contains the dimension of time and space,it is a variety of natural resources and cultural resources of the N dimensional mixed hyper volume,the spatial niche refers to the meaning of this just occupied by a aneconomic cultural type the last distribution unit,stressed the significance of its resources spatial distribution;the functional niche refers to its position in the economic and cultural ecological communities of this type of And role.It is concluded that the niche of a nation means the status,function and function of the nation in the time and space as well as its relative relationship with the similar economic and cultural types in the earth ecosystem.From the angle of ecology proposed ceremony is throughout the life of the process,from the origin of life to ritual animal behavior,trying to explore the ritual ecological source of animal and human behavior are pseudo ritual behavior,life and behavior in order to survive in a population of over the presentation for animal populations is a kind of collective behavior,and social behavior in humans.From this point of view,it can be said that ritual is the ecological behavior of human beings in order to survive and reproduce.From the perspective of life philosophy,the thesis also analyzes the starting point of human spiritual life,from emotional experience to the formation of spiritual life,rich emotions and different individual spiritual life,and the different cultural niche of every nation in the world.Ritual is not only the way of spiritual life,but also the cultural product woven by human spiritual life.It is not only the behavior way of spiritual life,but also the carrier of spiritual life.The ceremony of the cultural items into the analysis system of social ecological system,the ecological factors of social ecological system and ecological factors respectively to meet the people's life,spiritual life and social life needs,analysis of the natural ecological factors,cultural and ecological factors under the influence of human ecology,the most important reason of human the niche is due to the cultural ecological system exists.The cultural ecosystem composition,influenced by human survival and cultural evolution of the natural ecological environment,science and technology,economy,social organization and values of "super body" N dimensional cultural ecological factors,the ceremony is accompanied by an important cultural factor of human culture evolution.Since ritual is human's life behavior,it must be an ecological adaptive behavior that integrates three life into one.It's a human cultural ecosystem.Any ritual must interact with each other and interact with each other in a certain period of time.In the cultural ecological system must also have a ritual niche,with three living animal,is a biological life,spiritual life is two,three is the social life,and the birth of the ceremony is due to the need of biological life,at the same time the ceremony is also to meet people's spiritual life and social life needs,miscellaneous factors together with the inevitable formation of human existence "N-dimensional hyper volume niche culture",and it is also the text record of human society three life evolution.The paper finally discusses the interaction ritual in the context of globalization and ecology,through a typical case in Guizhou that can be invented by traditional ceremony,in the social ecosystem reached three unified ecological life to construct ecological niche to become a tradition,and just to meet the material needs of the ceremony even single by the invention,can not become a traditional.Through the research,we can draw the following conclusions: the ceremony is throughout one's life,spiritual life and social life of the ecological behavior,constructing "ceremony is an important cultural factor hypervolume niche" human N dimensional space;the ceremony has to "reconcile" and "hybridity" function,can promote the cultural ecology reconstruction.When people's needs are from "material and cultural needs" to "good life needs",they point to the unity of three lives."Good life" is the most suitable niche for human beings.
