摘　　要：民族团结的目标指向是国家统一、社会和合、文化交融,其实现的途径在于各种类型的“实践”。文章提出,“符号实践”是民族团结的实践路径之一,且具有区域性(地方性)、情境性的特点。在青藏高原的生态系统中,没有自然生长的莲花;但在其地方文化系统中,莲花符号却占据核心位置。那么,当地的人们如何在其地方艺术中把莲花符号“具象化”呢?田野调查发现,莲花通常被以牡丹的样式加以描绘,莲花化身为牡丹,可视为河湟地区民族团结的一种无意识的符号实践。Lotus is the essential symbol of Buddhism.But due to the geographical and ecological reasons,we can hardly find lotus on the Tibetan Plateau.How does people image and express lotus through arts?Based on field works in He-Huang area across Qinghai and Gansu province,one of the country origins of Chinese tree peony,we may find different ethnic groups have their own arts and special symbolic systems u uponpeony according to their own local knowledges.As in the case of Tibetan Buddhist arts in which lotus is often drawing as peony,this paper argues that the peony-lotus can be not only seen as a kind of artistic expression of the local knowledge of Tibetan society in that region,but also be a symbolic practice of ethnic unity.
