身份是從自我與社會互動的角度對個人和群體進行多面性的有序建構。傳統社會中,傳統的想像和汙名化構築了社會等級的結構,並形成了對漁民的偏見與歧視。而被汙名化的漁民卻產生了對"汙名的認同",並呈現於日常社會生活的一些方面。可見,在傳統時代,漁民底邊身份的形成和汙名化與國家權力和主流社會的排斥不無關係。考察漁民身份的多重性,是對太湖漁業文化的尊重與保護,是踐行費孝通先生倡導的"美人之美,美美與共"理念的最好方式。

Identity is a multi-faceted and orderly construction of individuals and groups from the perspective of self and social interaction. In a traditional society,the illusion and stigmatizationconstructed the structure of the social hierarchy,and formed the popular consciousness of prejudice and discrimination against the fishermen. The stigmatized fishermen admitted their"stigma",and presented it in some aspects of their daily life. In fact,this is the result of state power and the construction of the mainstream society arbitrarily.Therefore,a correct understanding of the plurality of the identity of fishermen of Taihu Lake best echoes the idea of"appreciate the culture/values of others as do to one’s own,and the world will become a harmonious whole"advocated by Mr. Fei Xiaotong,and is a respect and protectionof the fishing culture of Taihu Lake.
