| After going out of Yangguan to the west,I can no longer meet my former friends.I have to fight in the frontier fortress and die in other places.Since ancient times,it is a magnificent portrayal of the noble deeds of guarding the frontier and defending the country.Since the Han and Tang Dynasties,for the sake of national security and the interests of the nation,many Chinese have left their homes and embarked on a tragic road to garrison the frontiers.In the long river of Chinese history,too many impressive stories about patriotism and heroism have remained.These unique stories has become a kind of cultural symbol,which can inspired people by national spirit,also is the carrier of patriotic national cultural heritage."Station troops" is one of the national way protecting their homes and defend their countries in ancient China,which means that the army stay in a certain area for a long time(frontier area)and live on farming.According to the analysis of literature,the station troops culture originated from the Han Dynasty,and the system was established by Li Shimin in Tang Dynasty.Since then,with the change of dynasties and generations in our country,the system of troops stationed has always been the spirit of unchanged value,and has been used and inherited by future generations to this day.Since the founding of New China,the system of stationing troops is still playing a great role.In 1954,the Central People's Government decided to form Xinjiang Construction Corps in Xinjiang.Like the ancient army,the Legion people always put the fundamental interests of the country and the nation at the first place;always regard the sacred duty of cultivating and garrisoning the border as their responsibility,go where the motherland needs most,take root in it,and dare to sacrifice for the country in times of danger.In the course of the reform and development of the ancient troop system,there emerged many heroic deeds and stories of sobbing ghosts and gods,such as the heroic deeds of Princess Pingyang,The ninth sister of Li Shimin in Tang Dynasty,stationed at Niangziguan,and the famous general of Song Dynasty,Yang Ye,who fought against Liao Dynasty and defended the country.With the emergence of the troop culture as a result of the troop system,various kinds of folk activities with the theme of praising the feelings of the country and the country have emerged,which have become an important carrier of inheriting the culture of the country and the country.Based on the perspective of semiotics,this paper focuses the attention of folk sports in the border areas of Shanxi on the imprint of station troops in the border areas of Shanxi,aiming to verify the value of the feelings of the family and the country in the course of spreading for thousands of years,so as to condense its essence and change its form to educate one party.Since ancient times,relying on its unique geographical environment,Shanxi has occupied an important military position(there are many mountain Pass in Shanxi),forming and retaining many impressions of station troops.This paper takes the folk sports in the border areas as the research point,because the folk sports in the border areas are closely related to the life of station troops in ancient times.Firstly,in these folk sports,there are not only festival activities celebrating harvest and victory,but also concrete acts evolved from military activities.The classical events and heroic stories are the crystallization of folk culture in border areas.Secondly,the frontier folk sports are different from other folk sports.Its uniqueness lies in the fact that the spirit of the frontier folk sports is not possessed by other folk sports.It is the starting point and the end point of this study to excavate the traces of the soldiers in Shanxi frontier folk sports and make the spiritual symbols of station troops in Shanxi play a cross-era value.This study conducts an in-depth study of folk sports activities in the border areas of Shanxi through the methods of literature review,field investigation,semiotics method,etc.Furthermore the paper explains their features reflecting from the historical allusions,events,objects,and behavioral patterns and others.It adopts the verbal signs and non-verbal signs theories in the semeiology to classify the information in the three folk sports,and constructs the folklore sports symbol system,codes according to the symbol system category,and extracts the symbols containing the imprint of the soldiers.Then the author interprets the meaning of the symbols by Pierce's logical relationship ''Three in On''.Based on the theory,symbols are divided into three categories: manifestation,object and background,that is,three meanings of a symbol.The first means symbol itself,object is the explanatory item of symbol,and the background is the referring meaning of the symbol.In this way,the paper will expand station troops' spirit and make effort to influence modern families' ideological mind and social consciousness.Through the methods of documentation,field investigation and semiotics,this study makes an in-depth study of the folk sports activities in the border areas of Shanxi Province.Three folk sports events in the border areas are selected as the object of study,and the historical allusions,events,objects and behavior patterns reflected by the three folk sports activities in the border areas are analyzed in a deep degree.At the same time,using the linguistic symbols and non-linguistic symbols in semiotic theory,the information in the three frontier folk sports events is classified,and the symbol system of Frontier folk sports is constructed.The symbol system is coded according to the category of the symbol system,the symbol containing the station troops imprint is extracted,the meaning of the symbol is interpreted,and the sign of Frontier folk sports is divided into three parts based on the logical relationship of Pierce's trinity.There are three kinds(manifestation,object and background),namely,the three meanings of a symbol's reference.One is the symbol itself,the other is the explanatory term of the symbol,and the third is the object of the symbol's reference.Through this research method,the author expands the spirit of station troops in frontier folk sports,and then explores the significance of traditional national feelings to modern people's ideological value and conveys the social consciousness contained therein.The results show that:(1)The three frontier folk sports evolved from the station troops in the Han and Tang Dynasties.The contents of the frontier folk sports activities include the memory of the army in the ancient frontier.In the process of today's folk sports activities,it embodies the ancient soldier's brave and indomitable,fearless,vigorous,fighting and killing enemies' spiritual features and feelings of home and country;(2)By using the semiotic theory,it is concluded that the element symbols in frontier folk sports events can be coded according to the five systems of sports behavior: class symbols,space symbols,time symbols,sensory symbols and language symbols.The logical relationship of folk sports in frontier areas is established by the ternary relationship of symbol's expression,object and background;(3)by refining the spirit condensed in the impression of troops,abstracting it into concrete,and turning "god" into "form".This study has a high research value in carrying forward the spirit of the Chinese nation,national culture,national self-confidence and other aspects,and has an important educational significance for individuals,nationalities and countries. |
