This paper takes emotion as the research object,and tries to explore the social interaction and emotional interaction among Bai elder people in the Rao San Ling traditional ritual in the framework of emotional interaction,in order to achieve the following research goals:First,Human Emotions are the research starting point.In the rituals,it studies the ways in which participants engage in emotional communication and how they transform personal emotions into collective emotions after emotional interaction.Secondly,it analyzes the different states of emotion"inhibition-release-return" presented in Bai family life,ritual space,daily interactions,and studies how emotions are consistent with culture and reflect unique cultural characteristics.Finally,it tries to use emotion as an observation perspective and dimension in cultural studies to study how human emotions interact with the culture in which they are located,and propose relevant theoretical considerations.Based on the above research objectives,the research content and viewpoints of this paper are mainly reflected in the following four aspects:First,analyze the emotional structure in the Bai family and explain that family relations and emotional life are affected by traditional agricultural production methods,forming a human-oriented world based on social production and labor.Family members follow each other's coordination.The principles of interest and emotional relations are characterized by standardization and rationalization.Personal emotions are weakened and marginalized.This is embodied in the restraint and lack of intimacy of family members' emotional relationships,gender isolation in public space and the avoidance of intimacy,and the emotional features of shame in marriage and relationships.Second,to study the mutual transformation and interaction between personal emotions and collective emotions during the Rao San Ling ritual.Specifically analyzing the participants' attitudes and emotions with the ritual,establishing communication with the gods in the sacred space,and admiring the sacred space through a series of identities.actions,languages,and attitudes that conform to the rituals.The transformation of the ritual space realizes a leap from secular to sacred.Third,analyze how collective emotions conduct cultural practices and operations in the ritual space.Through the ritual activities,language,color,dance behavior,songs and other symbolic symbols that include collective consciousness and concepts,the interaction and interaction of personal emotions and collective emotions are realized.The characteristics of collective emotions are universalized.They are cyclical and repeatedly strengthened.A sentimental system with a stable structure built by individuals,groups,and ritual was formed.Fourth,research participants return to their daily interaction and emotional characteristics.It explains the different forms of emotional interaction among ritual participants in daily interactions and reflects different emotional strengths.It is concluded that,on the one hand,the emotional relationship in daily interactions is a continuation of ritual emotions,on the other hand,it is still influenced by cultural inertia and logic.In summary,emotion is not only a rapidly changing psychological phenomenon,but also a cultural phenomenon that maintains "conversation,communication,and interaction" with the outside world at any time.Emotion as a worthy experimental research perspective,through its rich emotional "language",in the periodic aggregation,the realization of the individual emotion to the collective emotional belonging,so that individual members obtain the identity of the collective members,identify with the group symbol sign.It promoted unity and integration within the group.Therefore,only by putting human emotions into the cultural system to observe and study can we understand humanity more thoroughly.
