摘　　要：从铜鼓在实践者手中的使用方式,到铜鼓表面纹饰的象征含义,都明确地指明了,铜鼓具有独立、唯一的实践主旨:将使用者心中有关灵魂世界的观念具体化,将死者的灵魂送往祖灵的家园。而以往学者归纳出的铜鼓的其他功能,都是围绕这一核心功能展开的。百越民族在与北方文化的接触过程中迅速掌握了青铜器制作工艺,并将自己古老的文化观念,以新的方式展现、表达出来,以华南为中心,向越南、中南半岛南部、环南中国海地区广泛传播,最终成为了整个东南亚地区古代民族、文化共同体的象征。与铜鼓这一物质载体一同传播的,还有这一文化实践背后所蕴含的关于灵魂观念的种种表征。The way the bronze drums are used and the significance of the decorative patterns on them have shed light on the sole practical aim of this instrument, that is ,to visualize the users＇ concepts about soul and to see the souls of the deceased off to homeland. Ethnic groups in southern China grasped the bronze wares craftsmanship and embodied this innovative form with their time-honored beliefs, which spread extensively in the area surrounding south China. It has attracted a good deal of scholars both at home and abroad to achieve brilliant accomplishments. The core of Bronze Drums culture and the belief system behind the culture practice, however, has not been explored yet. We are trying to interpret the relations among the surface decoration, practical functions and the belief concept by the culture practitioners, from the numerous ethnographic records of the ethnic groups who employ the Bronze Drums from southern China and southeast Asia, with the perspective of ＇holism＇ of culture anthropology, which could give us a better understanding of the important elements of Baiyue culture, who constituted the basics of the Chinese culture.
