“闯关东”与民间社会风俗的嬗变

Great changes of folk-customs resulting from immigrants' "braving the journey to the Northeast China"

清代至民国,“闯关东”移民大批进入东北,致使东北地区的社会风俗——无论是人生习俗、生活习俗,还是岁时民俗或信仰习俗都发生了深刻的变化。东北地区对移民风俗不是全盘接受,而是进行了优化整合,形成了既不完全同于关东,又不与中原地区一致的东北地区特有的风俗习惯,使得东北地区的文化习俗由民族性特色到地方性特色的转化十分明显。东北地区的发展逐渐接近内地文化水平,大大促进了汉族同少数民族之间的交流与融合,对于统一的多民族国家的发展起到了重要作用。

Large quantities of immigrants braved the journey to the Northeast China from Qing Dynasty to the period of the Republic of China,which resulted in great changes in life,beliefs,customs,especially the New Year's customs.But the customs in the Northeast China were not totally changed.They were perfected and integrated by the exotic immigrants' customs.Thus the characteristics of customs in the Northeast China were not the same as before,and not the same as those of Central Plains.The peculiarities in the customs of the Northeast China highlighted the changes from the national features to local features.Cultural level of Northeast China was gradually close to that of the inland,which greatly promoted intercommunication and mergence between the Han nationality and the minority nationalities,and developed a uniform and multinational country.
