中国古代的弃老习俗

中国各地区都有弃老传说,古时曾流行不养六十花甲老人,令其在寄死窑等弃老洞内自毙的习俗。鄂西北就有弃老传说中的寄死窑遗迹完整存留至今。

徐永安副教授的考察研究结果表明:寄死窑遗址在汉水中游的河岸、山地普遍存在,这些遗址系明显人工开凿,非自然生成。一些地点还存在多口寄死窑密集分布的情况,遗址与传说对应关系十分明确。徐永安通过对弃老洞遗址的考察和对当地老年人的访问,还揭示出60岁老人自死是一种依从于内在民俗信仰而选择的崇高行为,从而寄死窑也成为一个神圣的空间。由此显现出民俗的普遍性特征具有的对人类社会行为的巨大控制力量。除鄂西北的寄死窑之外还有山东胶东半岛的模子坟、山西晋中市昔阳县的生藏墓等。由此可以证明,在中原文明的核心地区也存在过这一弃老习俗。诸多事实告诉我们:彼时的弃老习俗,一定有它存在的充分的、合理的理由,而不仅仅是原始民族或人性恶的一种注脚。

为何在以礼仪之邦闻名于世的中国,竟然流行过野蛮的弃老习俗呢?人类的伦理感情、亲情本能,真的就如此微不足道、如此无能为力吗?俄罗斯著名学者普列汉诺夫的《论艺术(没有地址的信)》中说,那些原始民族遗弃或杀死老人,并非由于生性残忍,而是由于野蛮人不得不为自己生存奋斗的那些条件杀死非生产的成员对社会来说是一种合乎道德的责任。这个贯串历史唯物主义的论断,已由大量人类学调查材料所证实,至今仍是我们解开弃老习俗文化之谜的一把钥匙。中国弃老习俗也应作如是观。

弃老习俗不独中国为然,其他国家民族也有。日本电影导演木下恵介拍摄的电影《楢山节考》,讲述以前日本一些贫瘠的山村中,为了节约有限的口粮,60岁以上的老人,要被儿子背到深山里,放在那里让他自生自灭饿死,这就是日本所谓的姥舍て达尔文在非洲考察时也发现过一个遗弃老人的部落,他们总是把年老的妇女放逐到森林里让她们饿死。请教他们为什么这样做,他们的酋长回答说,妇女是生孩子的,年长的妇女既然不会生孩子,还留着白吃饭干什么呢?古代朝鲜也有这样的习俗。在那种生存资源极为缺乏的环境中,人类奉行的生存战略就是如此残酷。

中国虽在广大地区流行过弃老习俗,然而和世界其他地方相比较,中国自古以来就有尊重智慧老人的优良传统。春秋战国时期,老人是个宝的观念就已深入人心。诸子百家大都以老人为师,老人的智慧在这一时期大放异彩。王晓平所著《佛典·志怪·物语》也特地指出:在中国,春秋战国时期中原地区已摆脱了弃老风俗,《左传》中的晋文公老年的谲诈,蹇叔的预见,都是对老者智慧的肯定。屈原《离骚》中,傅说、吕望、宁戚都是被作为饱经风霜,终被信用的贤者来歌颂的。中国自古以来就有着智慧老人治国平天下的历史功绩传闻于世,由此树立起老人是个宝,应孝养老人的普世观念和习俗,由此标志着社会文明的一大跃进。现在的韩国成为了世界上最敬老的国家,也是对这段历史的拨正和超越。

【题目】 When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor if the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University(SMU)in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn;t afford the operation because her family was poor.

Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic(阁楼)one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript(手稿).

Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henrys.

My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he foud himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.
