從建國初期開始,安徽省通過多種方式不斷宣傳、強化和塑造黃梅戲與該省之間的強關聯,"人為"地建構出兩者之間強關聯的社會想象空間。黃梅戲地域符號空間生產經歷了四個階段,即20世紀50年代初期到70年代末期的政治空間生產階段、80年代的文藝空間生產階段、90年代的空間生產與消費初步結合階段、21世紀初至今的空間生產與消費深度融合階段。該研究有助于深度認識黃梅戲地域符號空間生產的演化規律和內在本質,并為其他地域符號空間生產提供理論借鑒。

Ever since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the connotation between Huangmei opera and Anhui province has existed, and has been constantly strengthened and publicized, creating a social imaginary space as an "artificial " link which was constructed with the mentality of Anhui province. The production of the regional symbol has undergone four stages, namely, the production of political space between the early 1950 s and the late 1970 s, the production of art space in the 1980 s, the initial combination of the production and consumption of space in the 1990 s, and the full integration of production and consumption of space since the early twenty-first century. This research contributes to the understanding of the internal essence and evolutionary patterns of the space production and regional symbol of Huangmei opera, and is a theoretical reference for other cases of space production of regional symbols.
