passage 1 主题:纹身Tattooon Tikopia
原文:
A
Thereare still debates about the origins of Polynesian culture, but one thing we canensure is that Polynesia is not a single tribe but a complex one. Polynesianswhich includes Marquesans,Samoans, Niueans, Tongans, CookIslanders, Hawaiians, Tahitians, and Maori, arc genetically linked toindigenous peoples of parts of Southeast Asia. It’s a sub-region of Occania,comprising of a large grouping of over 1 ,000 islands scattered over thecentral and southern Pacific Ocean, within a triangle that has New Zealand,Hawaii and Easter Island as its corners.
B
Polynesianhistory has fascinated the western world since Pacific cultures were firstcontacted by European explorers in the late 18th century. The small island of Tikopia,for many people - even for many Solomon Islanders-- is so far away that itseems like a mythical land; a place like Namia that magical land in C. S.Lewis, classic, ‘The Chronicles of Namia.” Maybe because of it — Tikopia, its people, and theircultures have long fascinated scholars, travelers, and casual observers. Likethe pioneers Peter Dillion, Dumoni D' Urville and John Colleridge Patterson whovisited and wrote about the island in the 1800s, Raymond Firth is one of thosepeople captured by the alluring attraction of Tikopia. As a result, he had madea number of trips to the island since 1920s and recorded his experiences,observations and reflections on Tikopia, its people, cultures and the changesthat have occurred.
C
Whileengaged in study of the kinship and religious life of the people of Tikopia,Firth made a few observations on their tattooing. Brief though these notes arethey may be worth putting on record as an indication of the sociologicalsetting of the practice in this primitive Polynesian community. The origin ofthe English word ‘tattoo' actually comes from the Tikopia word'tatau1. The word for tattoo marks in general is tau,and the operation of tattooing is known as ta tau, ta being the genericterm for the act of striking.
D
Thetechnique of tattooing was similar throughout Polynesia. Traditional tattooartists create their indelible tattoos using pigment made from the candlenut orkukui nut. First, they bum the nut inside a bowl made of half a coconut shell.They then scrape out the soot and use a pestle to mix it with liquid. Bluing issometimes added to counteract the reddish hue of the carbon-based pigment. Italso makes the outline of the inscribed designs bolder on the dark skin oftattooing subjects.
E
For theinstruments used when tattooing, specialists used a range of chisels made fromalbatross wing bone which were hafted onto a handle which was made from theheart wood of the bush and struck with a mallet. The tattooer began bysketching with charcoal a design on the supine subject, whose skin at thatlocation was stretched taut by one more apprentices. The tattooer then dippedthe appropriate points - either a single one or a whole comb into the ink(usually contained in a coconut-shell cup) and tapped it into the subject'sskin, holding the blade handle in one hand and tapping it with the other. Theblood that usually trickled from the punctures was wiped away either by thetattooer or his apprentice, the latter having also served by restraining apain-wracked subject from moving, for the operation was inevitably painful atest of fortitude that tattooers sought to shorten by working as fast aspossible. In fact, tattoos nearly always festered and often led to sickness -and in some cases death.
F
Inancient Polynesian society, nearly everyone was tattooed. It was an integralpart of ancient culture and was much more than a body ornament. Tattooingindicated ones genealogy and/or rank in society. It was a sign of wealth, ofstrength and of the ability to endure pain. Those who went without them wereseen as persons of lower social status. As such, chiefs and warriors generallyhad the most elaborate tattoos. Tattooing was generally begun at adolescence,and would often not be completed for a number of years. Receiving tattooconstituted an important milestone between childhood and adulthood, and wasaccompanied by many rites and rituals. Apart from signaling status and rank,another reason for the practice in traditional times was to make a person moreattractive to the opposite sex.
G
The malefacial tattoo is generally divided into eight sections of the face. The centerof the forehead designated a person's general rank. The area around the browsdesignated his position. The area around the eyes and the nose designated hishapu, or sub-tribe rank. The area around the temples served to detail msmarital status, like the number of marriages. The area under the nose displayedhis signature. This signature was once memorized by tribal chiefs who used itwhen buying property, signing deeds, and officiating orders. The cheek areadesignated the nature of the person's work. The chin area showed the person'smana. Lastly, the jaw area designated a person's birth status.
H
Aperson's ancestry is indicated on each side of the face. The left side isgenerally the father's side,and the right side was themother's. The manutahi design is worked on the men’s back. It consists of two vertical lines drawn down the spine, with shortvertical lines between them. When a man had the manutahi on his back, he tookpride in himself. At gatherings of the people he could stand forth in theirmidst and display his tattoo designs with songs. And rows of triangles designon the men's chest indicate his bravery.
I
Tattoowas a way delivering information of its owner. It’s also a traditional method tofetch spiritual power, protection and strength. The Polynesians use this as asign of character, position and levels in a hierarchy. Polynesian peoplesbelieve that a person’s mana, their spiritual power orlife force, is displayed through their tattoo.
