在市场化文旅产业的推动下，摩梭母屋作为一个重要的物质媒介，超越原本封闭的、单一民族维度的家族凝聚与精神信仰空间，逐步转型为更加开放和多元的民族文化互动场域。开放而矛盾的现代生活与封闭而高度合理化的技术体系之间充满张力，正是在这种张力的推动下，都市人转身到文旅胜地寻找心灵情感的栖息之所，母屋为那些因工作内卷、思想撕裂与资本压制而疲惫的都市游客，打开了“生活世界”的体验与想象。作为践行“交往交流交融”理念的关键载体，母屋让挣扎于工具理性中的都市游客重温人文价值的光辉、提升本已衰退的感性能力，并在基于主体间性的相互理解中，推动各民族间的文化传播与情感互动由单向消费走向多维互构。母屋实现了从封闭到共享、从地方到都市、从文化自用到文化共鸣的演变，这是文化自信不断积累与扩展的过程，对进一步铸牢中华民族共同体意识具有重要的现实意义。

Using ethnographic fieldwork,this article shows how the mother-house(Muwu,refers to the central place where the matrilineal family gathers and all important rituals are held) of the Mosuo people,as a key material medium,has undergone a transformation driven by the cultural tourism market:Historically perceived as an isolated,mono-ethnic space dedicated to family and ritual practices,the mother-house has been refashioned into a more open,plural arena of intercultural interaction.Serving as a material conduit for the practice of "communication,interactions,and integration," the mother-house enables visitors caught in the grip of instrumental rationality to rediscover humanistic values and to revive their diminished capacities for sensuous experience.These dynamics,in turn,hold concrete significance as they contribute to forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.At the level of digital interaction,if rationalized mechanisms merely abstracted the Mosuo mother-house into a consumable symbol,it would,in fact,struggle to attain genuine visibility.Digital technologies,however,do not reduce Mosuo life and culture to simulacra;rather,they extend the very logic of Mosuo productive and everyday practice into the online sphere.Through ties of sharing,empathy,and co-creation,a multilayered,cross-media communication network emerges,involving multiple stakeholders—including local government,digital platforms,Mosuo residents,and urban visitors—who actively participate in its formation.As for economic exchange,financial capital from China's eastern metropolises becomes entangled with cultural-tourism commodities produced in the Southwest.This interaction dissolves one-sided patterns of supply and demand,embedding a logic of mutual benefit within the everyday,crossethnic division of labour.As a result of this reciprocal flow—where urban resources coexist alongside Mosuo cultural-tourism products—an inclusive network of absorption and interaction materializes,catering to the broader requirements of integrated socio-economic development.The symbiotic and mutually advantageous relationship between the prosperous eastern cities and the minority areas of the Southwest China serves as a key driver in the formation of a Chinese economic community.This relationship simultaneously illustrates an inner dynamic of interlocking complementarities across urban-rural and inter-ethnic lines.At the spiritual integration level,urban labor and striving are often constrained by calculative rationality.In an environment marked by escalating competition and fragmentation,work can sever connections to the external world,deepening the divide between urban tourists and minority local cultures.In contrast,the Mosuo mother-house,as a site of vibrant cultural practice,offers meaning-seeking urban visitors an opportunity for intersubjectivity.Through interactions between Mosuo residents and urban visitors,spiritual values associated with Chinese national culture are reinforced and renewed.Consequently,the grand narrative of the Chinese national community no longer remains an abstract idea;it is continually reinforced through tangible material and cultural practices.Grounded in intersubjective mutual understanding,this practice of national cultural tourism transcends mere oneway cultural consumption and substantively facilitates multidimensional interactions that integrate cultural communication with affective convergence.Through processes of interactions,exchanges,and integration,a shared identification is established,fostering stronger cohesion emerges.The motherhouse activates affective resonance and sensibility,enabling different ethnic groups to reach value consensus through communication and form affective bonds amid diversity.The evolution from a community of life to a community of sentiment and ultimately to a community of a shared future constitutes a significant trajectory in the new era for forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.
