摘　　要：漆染牙齿是人类一种古老的体饰文化,历史上曾在亚太地区广泛存在。瑶族本无漆齿习俗,但有的支系———如越南保胜的白裤瑶(贺瑶),却在与越濮族系的黑齿民族接触中所濡染;受现代审美观念的影响,越南社会不再"以黑为美",瑶族黑齿习俗也随之变迁。相对封闭的生活环境与相对保守的族群文化,使其成为这一习俗的最后持守者。从本质上看,越南瑶族对黑齿习俗的习得、持守或放弃,均是他们基于生活需要因应环境与社会变迁的文化策略。Dyeing teeth is a kind of ancient culture of body decoration,which was historically widespread in the Asia-Pacific region.There used to be no custom of dyeing teeth among the Yao people,but some branches,like the white-pants Yao（also named Ho Yao） in Vietnam,followed the custom by contact with black-teeth Yue or Pu people.Influenced by modern aesthetic ideas,the Vietnamese society no longer holds the idea that ＂Blackness means beauty＂ and the Yao＇s custom of dyeing teeth has also changed.However,these people become the last practitioner of the custom in reality thanks to their relatively isolated living environment with relatively conservative ethnic cultures.In essence,the acquisition,adherence or abandonment of the custom of dyeing teeth among the Yao people in Vietnam are their cultural strategies to meet their needs in adapting to the environmental and social changes.
