明代江浙赣地区的宗族乡约化

Clan System and Community Compact in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi Provinces in Ming Dynasty

明代是大力推行乡约的时期 ,江浙赣地区在推行乡约的过程中与宗族结合 ,发生了宗族乡约化。宗族内部因引进乡约而宣讲圣谕、设立族约、制定族规 ,推动宗族建设并组织化。宗族自治性加强 ,也促进了宗族与官府的互动作用。宗族乡约化的历史原因 ,是宋儒重建宗族与在乡里移风易俗社会主张的成功实践。明代宗族因乡约化而组织化 ,给予基层社会以深刻影响。

Government in Ming dynasty pushed community Compact vigorously, which was combined with clan during this process. The introduction of community compact promoted the construction of clan. The improvement of autonomy of clan promoted the communication between clan and government. The combination of clan and community in Ming Dynasty had produced great influence on basic society.
