【亚洲·乌兹别克斯坦】阿斯基亚，一种关于智慧的艺术 Askiya, the art of wit（2014年）

阿斯基亚是乌兹别克民间语言艺术的一种类型，它采取两个或两个以上参与者之间对话的形式，他们围绕特定主题进行雄辩的辩论和交流。承载者和练习者，主要是男性，必须掌握乌兹别克语的特点，并能够快速、熟练地即兴创作和推理，使用幽默和玩笑达到最佳效果。这些对话虽然幽默，但在提高人们对社会趋势和事件的认识、通过对日常生活的敏锐观察吸引人们对重要问题的关注方面发挥着不可估量的作用。阿斯基亚舞经常在乌兹别克斯坦各地的城市和村庄组织的民间庆典、节日、家庭相关仪式和聚会中表演。目前，已知的阿斯基亚语有30多种形式，有些是专业的，有些是业余的，每种都有自己独特的特点。Askiya相关的知识和技能主要通过口头方式在个人、团体和社区之间传播，以传统的师徒式教学方法为基础。Askiya提倡幽默，确保人们之间的交流简单，并将不同社区的代表团结在一起，无论年龄和背景如何。它还具有很强的教育成分，利用幽默教育人们更加专注，分析日常生活中的缺陷和不足，从而促进文化和社会发展。

Askiya is a genre of Uzbek verbal folk art that takes the form of a dialogue between two or more participants, who eloquently debate and exchange witticisms around a particular theme. Bearers and practitioners, mainly men, must master the peculiarities of Uzbek language, and be able to improvise and reason quickly and skilfully, using humour and banter to great effect. The dialogues, although humorous, play an invaluable role in raising awareness of social tendencies and events, drawing attention to important issues through acute observation of daily life. Askiya is often performed in folk celebrations, festivities, family-related rituals and get-togethers organized in cities and villages across Uzbekistan. At present, more than thirty forms of Askiya are known, some professional and some amateur, each with its own distinctive features. Askiya-related knowledge and skills are predominantly transmitted verbally among individuals, groups and communities, based on traditional master-apprentice teaching methods. Askiya promotes humour, ensures simplicity of communication among people, and unites representatives of different communities, irrespective of age and background, around a common event. It also has a strong educational component, using humour to teach people to be more attentive, and to analyse flaws and shortcomings in daily life, thereby nurturing cultural and social development.
