A Study on Cultural Transformation of Pig Consumption in the Urbanization Process of Yi Ethnic Group in Shacun,Xiaoliangshan,Yunnan Province
The relocation policy in Xiaoliangshan has changed the livelihood mode,lifestyle,and consumption and dietary habits of Yi relocated households.The consumption of pork by the Yi people in Xiaoliangshan has gradually shifted from"black pigs"to"white pigs".However,in their sacred ritual life,they still adhere to tradition and maintain traditional social structure and order through"black pigs".In the process of urbanization,it is precisely because of the"separation of sacred customs"in the life of the Yi ethnic group that they constantly adapt in their daily lives and adhere to tradition in their ritual life.The changes in society have not led to the rupture of the social culture of the Yi ethnic group in Xiaoliangshan,and their traditional culture still plays a role in maintaining social structure and order.This is in stark contrast to Gertz's discussion of the issue of modernity transformation that led to cultural continuity and fragmentation in Javanese society after experiencing social changes.
