Двое лодочников-танка в Гонконге

Танка[1][2] (иер. трад. 蜑家, йель: daan6ga1; также даньцзя, даньху, даньмин, шуйжэнь[3], дан, дань, люди в лодках) — проживающий в Южном Китае[4] субэтнос ханьцев[5], возможно, мон-кхмерского происхождения[6]. Традиционно танка проводили всю жизнь на лодках-джонках[1] в прибрежных районах Гуандуна, Гуанси, Фуцзяни (фучжоуские танка), Хайнани, Чжэцзяна[7], Гонконга[8] и Макао. Небольшая часть танка живёт во Вьетнаме, где их называют «дан» (đàn) и официально считают субэтносом народа нгай, состоящего из хакка, ле и собственно нгаев[9].

Империя Сун интенсивно колонизировала юго-восточный Китай ханьскими переселенцами, ассимилировавшими танка[10]. Некоторые историки сравнивают этот народ с шэ, воспринявшими китайскую культуру обитателями Южного Китая[11]. Как и соседние кантонцы, танка говорят на кантонском языке[12][13].

В новейшее время многие из танка переселились на берег[14].

Танка Гонконга, 1930

Традиционное название «танка» ныне считается уничижительным[15]:

иер. трад. 蜑家, упр. 蜑家, йель: daan6ga1, кант.-рус.: та:нка, пиньинь: dànjiā, палл.: даньцзя[16] (также пишется как 疍家[17][18]).

Ныне в Китае приняты описательные названия:

иер. трад. 水上人, упр. 水上人, йель: seui2seung5yan4, кант.-рус.: сёйсёнъянь, пиньинь: shuǐshàngrén, палл.: шуйшанжэнь, буквально: «люди на воде»[19].
иер. трад. 南海人, упр. 南海人, йель: naam4hoi2yan4, кант.-рус.: на:мхойянь, пиньинь: nánhǎirén, палл.: наньхайжэнь, буквально: «люди с южного моря»[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].

Словосочетанием «люди в лодках» (англ. boat people) исторически называли вьетнамцев-беженцев (прибывавших в Гонконг после Войны во Вьетнаме), танка и хокло, последние два народа проводили на воде значительную часть своей жизни[28]. Однако хокло говорят на языке хокло, а танка — на кантонском.

Британцы иногда называли их "морские цыгане" [26][29].

Образ жизни

[править | править код]
Гонконгские «люди в лодках», 1970

Исторически танка были дискриминируемым меньшинством, вытесненным с суши на воду[30][3]. Они промышляли ловлей рыбы и моллюсков, доставкой грузов[7] и пассажирскими перевозками[31][32], пиратством[5]. На лодках они устраивали небольшие алтари, куда ставили статуи богов, которым приносили подношения (самым почитаемым божеством танка является Мацзу)[33].

Цинскими властями танка были причислены к «подлому люду» (кит. трад. 賤民, упр. 贱民, пиньинь jiànmín, палл. цзяньминь)[34], им было запрещено селиться на берегу[35]. Император Юнчжэн уравнял их в правах с «добропорядочным народом» в 1723 году[36]. Также танка было запрещено вступать в брак с кантонцами и хакка, даже если последние жили по соседству и тоже занимались рыболовством[37]. Им не позволяли участвовать в празднованиях других народов[38]. В отличие от китайцев, танка никогда не бинтовали женщинам ноги[37].

В Шанхае, одном из центров проституции, работало множество жительниц Южного Китая, причём кантонские проститутки обслуживали клиентов в обычных борделях, а танка — в плавучих[39]. Также большое количество проституток-танка было в городах дельты Жемчужной реки[37]. Танка работали и в борделях для британцев[40] и других европейцев[41]. Кантонские женщины презирали танка и обзывали их «девочками солёной воды» (иер. трад. 鹹水妹, упр. 咸水妹, йель: haam4seui2mui6, кант.-рус.: ха:мсёймуй). Этот синоним слова «проститутка» произошёл от английского «handsome maid»[42][43]. Стереотип о том, что все танка женского пола занимаются проституцией, приводил к ошибкам при подсчётах количества проституток в стране, так как всех женщин этого народа автоматически причисляли к представительницам «древнейшей профессии»[44][45]. Проститутки-танка считались «низкими», жадными, грубыми и невежливыми[46], однако бордели, в которых они работали, славились чистотой и богатым убранством[47]. Иногда из низов танка удавалось пробиться в проституцию высокого класса[48].

Отчёт британскому парламенту 1882 года содержал сведения о том, что танка, формально считавшиеся «друзьями европейцев», зачастую фактически находились в рабстве у хозяев борделей[36][49].

У танка часто бывает анемия Кули (талассемия)[50]. Также танка чаще кантонцев и чаошаньцев страдают раком лёгких[51].

Происхождение

[править | править код]

Британские источники утверждают, что танка жили в Гонконге «с незапамятных времён»[20][52]. Энциклопедия «Американа» утверждает, что хокло и танка обитают в Гонконге «с доисторических времён»[53][54][55]. Предков танка вытеснили на воду китайские крестьяне, захватывавшие их земли со времён Сун[56].

В некоторых китайских легендах говорится о том, что предками варваров, включая танка, были дикие звери[57][12]. В других мифологических источниках утверждается, что предками танка были морские змеи, поэтому они якобы могут задерживать дыхание под водой на три дня[58]. Существуют поверия, что танка — это потомки морского народа Лу Тин, полулюдей-полурыб.

Часть китайских учёных считает, что танка — это отдельный народ, не имеющий с ханьцами ничего общего[59]. Китайские исторические хроники утверждают, что танка — автохтонное население региона. Их считали юэсцами и делили на «рыболовов», «ловцов устриц» и «деревянных»[60][61].

Большинство европейских учёных поддерживает теорию о том, что предками танка являются байюэ[13][62][12]. Другая теория заключается в том, что танка восприняли культуру и образ жизни населявших Гонконг в неолит юэсцев[63]. Некоторые учёные считают, что танка родственны другим народам Южного Китая, в частности, ли и яо[64]. Антрополог Сямэньского университета Линь Хуэйсян (кит. 林惠祥, пиньинь Lín Huìxiáng) в своей диссертации утверждает, что гуандунские и фуцзяньские танка происходят от байюэ, а также что они возможно являются предками малайцев[65]. Вольфрам Эберхард предполагает, что юэ родственны танка, а китайская примесь появилась у последних из-за влияния китайской культуры и из-за того, что танка занимались проституцией[66].

Согласно одной из теорий, танка произошли от неассимилированных юэсцев, переживших китайское нашествие[67]. Не согласное с этой теорией меньшинство учёных считает, что у танка не больше аборигенной крови, чем у обычных кантонских китайцев[13]. Другая теория заключается в том, что помимо юэсцев предками танка являются и другие народы[68].

Китайские учёные считают танка племенем яо, некоторые источники утверждают, что на Ланьтау жили «дань», а другие — что «яо». В газете 1729 года танка описываются под именем «варваров из яо», причём отношение к ним было как к животным[69]. Китайский поэт Су Ши упоминал танка[70]. Также танка посвящена строка в стихотворении У Ли, где сказано, что этот народ снабжал рыбой португальцев в Макао[71].

В одном из выпусков издания Нанькайского университета 1936 года утверждается, что танка были потомками местных жителей до ассимиляции китайцами[72]. Учёный Жак Жерне[фр.] писал, что танка — коренной народ, мешавший династии Цин установить контроль над регионом[73].

Юджин Ньютон Андерсон в 1970 году утверждал, что данных для подтверждения любой из теорий о происхождении танка нет[10]. Однако проведённые в 1970-х годах исследования ДНК танка показали, что предками танка были аборигены, а не ханьцы[50].

Гуандун, Гонконг и Макао

[править | править код]
Танка в Макао

Кантонцы издревле эксплуатировали танка[74]. Во время британского колониального правления в Гонконге танка считались отдельным от хокло, хакка и пунти народом[75]. Исторически эти три народа, говорившие на разных языках, воевали и презирали друг друга по крайней мере с периода поздней Цин, однако их объединила ненависть к танка[76].

Танка помогали британцам в военных операциях в Гонконге, за что считались их «друзьями»[40]. Британцы в благодарность открыли несколько учебных заведений специально для этого народа[77].

Португальцы, жившие в Макао, часто женились на женщинах из танка, хотя китаянки (хань) отказывались от вступления в отношения с европейцами[78][79]. Танка было запрещено вступать в браки с другими местными народами[80]. Любовным связям танка и португальцев посвящено несколько литературных произведений, в частности «A-Chan, A Tancareira» авторства Энрике ди Сенна-Фернандеса[81][82]. Помимо этого, португальские пираты иногда брали в рабство детей танка[83]. Смешанное азиатско-европейское население Макао почти полностью состояло из потомков танка[84][85][86][43][87].

Из-за ассимиляции большинство танка в XX веке считали себя китайцами[27].

В новейшее время, с 1970-х годов, количество танка начало уменьшаться[88][89][90]. Одной из причин этого был тайфун 1962 года, уничтоживший множество лодок хокло и танка[53][54][55].

Танка отличают фамилии, причём у фучжоуских танка фамилии отличаются от гуандунских[91].

In Simoda, they take the place of horses, the latter being used only under the saddle. The third engraving represents the dinner given on board the Powhatan, in honor of the commissioners appointed by the emperor to conduct negotiations. Commodore Perry invited the officers of the squadron to meet the Japanese officials, of whom there were about seventy. A very excellent dinner was served up, to which the guests did ample justice. Toasts to the emperor and president were drank with all the honors, and the company did not disperse until a very late hour.

Our next picture shows a Chinese tanka boat. The tanka boats are counted by thousands in the rivers and bays of China. They are often employed by our national vessels as conveyances to and. from the shore, thereby saving the health ot the sailors, who would be otherwise subjected to pulling long distances under a hot sun, with a liability ot contracting some fatal disease peculiar to China, and thus introducing infection in a crowded crew.

On her voyage, the Powhatan touched at Singapore, the capital of a small island at the southern extremity of Malacca. The town stands on a point of land near a bay, affording a safe anchorage at all seasons, and commanding the navigation of the Straits of Malacca. While the Powhatan lay at anchor here, the captain permitted two jugglers to come on board to gratify the wishes of the sailors, by exhibiting their skill in legerdemain, which art they profess in a wonderful degree of perfection. The feat of swallowing a sword was performed, as exhibited in our fifth engraving. But as the weapon belonged to the juggler, the men suspected it was prepared for the purpose, and that the blade consisted of running slides, which, by the pressure of the tongue to the point, would be forced into the hilt. The Malay, however, was determined to confound the doubters, and taking up a piece of rough cast iron from the armorer's forge, swallowed it with as much ease and facility as he did the sword. The performances ended with a lively dance executed by two cobras, to the accompaniment of harsh sounds from a trumpet played by an assistant.

From Singapore lev us pasS to the Sandwich Islands, those gems of the Pacific. The arrival at the Sandwich Islands is always a welcome event in a cruise—the delicious climate, the abundance of fruits, the romantic scenery, the gentle manners of the inhabitants, render this portion of the globe peculiarly attractive. Our sixth engraving represents a group of Sandwich Island girls dancing the hula-hula to the intense delight of a group of Jack tars, who probably experience as much satisfaction at the exhibition, as was ever experienced by the refined Parisians at the efforts of Taglioni, Cerito, or Fanny Ellsler. The hula-hula was formerly a favorite dance among the Sandwich Islands, but has now become nearly extinct through the influence of the missionaries. There are still, however, a few Kanakas, who are addicted to their old amusement. The dance does not admit of much grace, each female going through her gyrations with the mechanical stiffness of an automaton.

The next port we shall touch at, pleading the privilege of a roving commission, is Cape Town,

the capital of the Cape of Good Hope, the wellknown British colony at the Southern extremity of Africa. This point early attracted the attention of the Dutch, who saw that it was of the first importance as a watering-place for their ships. They accordingly established a colony there about the middle of the 17th century. They treated the native inhabitants, the Hottentots, with great severity, driving most of them beyond the mountains, and reducing the remainder to slavery. In 1795, it was captured by the English, but restored by the peace of Amiens, in 1802. In 1806, it was again captured by the English, and has remained in their possession since. It is defended by a castle of considerable strength, and contains many fine public buildings. The harbor is tolerably secure from September to May, during the prevalence of the southeast winds ; but during the rest of the year, when the winds blow from the north and northwest, vessels are obliged to resort to Fulse Bay, on the other side of the peninsula.

Our seventh engraving presents a sketch of a group of marketmen at Cape Town. We here see the native fish dealers and purchasers. A young negro in the foreground is feeding a pelican with a small fish which he has purloined from the bench. The principal market of Cape Town is not very attractive externally, but it is noted for the abundance and excellence of its fish, flesh and fowl, which supply the inhabitants and the ships touching at the port. The sales are conducted much after the manner of this country. The salesmen arc representatives of all quarters of the globe, and include specimens of the native Hottentot and the genuine Yankee, who is always found where money is to be made.

The eighth engraving is a view of the natives and their huts at St. Augustine's Bay, Madagascar. The inhabitants of this remarkably fertile island are composed of two distinct classes—the Arabs, or descendants of foreign colonists, and the Negroes, or original inhabitants of the island. The character of the inhabitants differs much in the different parts of the island, and the accounts of writers vary greatly on this subject. The island is off the eastern coast of Africa, separated from the continent by the Mozambique channel, and is about 900 miles long and 200 broad. Its surface is greatly diversified, and its mountain scenery is exceedingly grand. The name and position of this island was first made known to Europeans by Marco Polo, in the 13th century, though the Arabs had been acquainted with it for several centuries. It was visited by the Portuguese in the beginning of the 16th century. The French made several attempts to found colonies there in the middle of the 17th century, but abandoned them after ineffectual struggles with the natives. In 1745, they renewed their efforts with but little better success. In 1814, it was claimed by England as a dependency of Mauritius, which had been ceded to her by France, and some settlements were established. One of the native kings of the interior, who had shown himself eager to procure a knowledge of European arts for his subjects, consented, in 1820, to relinquish the slave trade on condition that ten Madagassees should be sent to England, and ten to Mauritius, for education. Those sent to England were placed under the care of the».

Lethbridge refutes the theory saying it was based on a 'myth' propagated by xenophobic Cantonese to account for the establishment of the Hong Kong Eurasian community. Carl Smith's study in the late 1960s on the protected women seems, to some degree, support Eitel's theory. Smith says that the Tankas experienced certain restrictions within the traditional Chinese social structure. Custom precluded their intermarriage with the Cantonese and Hakka-speaking populations. The Tanka women did not have bound feet. Their opportunities for settlement on shore were limited. They were hence not as closely tied to Confucian ethics as other Chinese ethnic groups. Being a group marginal to the traditional Chinese society of the Puntis (Cantonese), they did not have the same social pressure in dealing with Europeans (CT Smith, Chung Chi Bulletin, 27). 'Living under the protection of a foreigner,' says Smith, 'could be a ladder to financial security, if not respectability, for some of the Tanka boat girls' (13 ).».
