舞出八家將身體文化之意蘊

畫在臉上的圖騰臉譜，穿在身體外的五顏服飾，拿在手中的神威器具，踩著七星步、四門與八卦陣，走著白鶴拳與猴拳，隨著韻律、節奏，八家將舞出的戲碼是一場又一場別開生面的傳統－身體文化的延續。「舞出八家將身體文化之意蘊」是本論文之題目，即著重於探討帶有宗教色彩的八家將如何舞出人與神之格的身體文化。在歷年有關八家將的研究與著作中，多著墨於歷史起源與發展、組織結構、職責要務、裝扮與陣法之層面的陳述，顯少針對八家將之主體所形成的一種傳統，即身體文化的延續作討論。值是，有其必要以相關文獻的推理論證，重新解讀與體現八家將身體文化之意蘊，即本文的研究目的。結果展現出：由以「俗人」之個體，全副變裝為「神形」之團體時，所衍生出的是一種世俗時空與神聖時空的區隔，所透露出的是一種精神與心智的交戰與轉變，所表現出的是一種以身體空間來象徵社會空間的意涵，所喻出的是一種以身體秩序合理化社會秩序的表徵。因此，舞出八家將身體文化之意蘊的同時，也體現了傳統生命力的強韌與價值。

With the totem facial types on faces, the colorful god-costumes on bodies, and the god-might tools on hands, the Ba Jia-Jiang stepped the 「Seven-Star Step」, 「Four-Door」 and 「Eight-Diagram」, walked the 「White Crane Boxing」 and 「Monkey Boxing」, and performed with the rhythm an act play of 「Tradition」-lasting the life of body culture. The title of 「The Profound Meaning of Body Culture on Ba Jia-Jiang」 focused on how Ba Jia-Jiang performed the body culture of the human and the Divine. According to the former researches, the history development, organization structure, service function and formation were represented frequently, and few aimed at the 「Tradition」 generated by Ba Jia-Jiang itself-lasting the life of body culture. Therefore, the documental analysis method was used to re-annotate and re-decipher the profound meaning of body culture on Ba Jia-Jiang. The result showed that while the process of a man's body changing fully into the image of the God was producing, four far-reaching meanings presented: a kind of the separation of worldly and holy space-time was extending; a form of the inside fight and transformation of spirit and mind was conducting; a meaning of the body space-time symbolizing social space-time was pointing, and a metaphor of the symbol of body order rationalizing social order was building. This traditional life power would show its toughness and value as long as the profound meaning of body culture on Ba Jia-Jiang would be performed.
