It focuses on domains as varied as real estate markets; shelter, comfort, and safety; familial sentiments; and invocations of ancestral homes. It depicts how the metaphorical comparison has held despite rapid shifts in the forms of housing for the living and bodily disposal for the dead. It further considers the possibilities for the future evolution or even complete disappearance of this form of metaphorical comparison. It considers the causes of the evolution of this form of metaphorical comparison and the practices associated with it, and concludes that, of all the factors that influence practices of mourning for the dead, affective dynamics are more important than 'belief' and 'tradition'. 本文探討香港粵語人士如何將生者住所 (陽宅) 與死者住所 (陰宅) 進行比喻性比較。研究涵蓋了多個領域, 包括房地產市場, 住所, 舒適度與安全感, 家庭情感以及人們對故鄉的回憶。儘管香港的住屋類型和死者遺體處理的方式都經歷了急速變化, 這種比喻性比較在本文的分析中依然有效。此外, 本文也探討這類比較在未來的演變, 以及面臨完全消失的可能性。文末最後總結, 在所有影響悼念死者習俗的因素中, 家庭形式模式的轉變及其相關的情感動力最為重要。 pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2026 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
