壮族婚姻文化的变迁:以田林那善屯为例

Vicissitudes of Marriage Culture of the Zhuang Nationality

文章以田林那善屯壮族的调查材料为基础 ,从婚姻类型、婚姻的缔结过程及婚姻地缘三方面论述壮族婚姻文化的变迁。文中指出 :壮族婚姻文化作为壮族传统文化的组成部分 ,其变迁是一个缓慢的渐变过程 ,新的因素和内容与传统的形式和内容并非截然冲突和排斥 ,而是可以糅合共存的。传统的形式和内容存在着孕育产生新因素和内容的机制 ,新的因素和内容则往往套上传统的外衣而出现。外来的文化亦可在不与本民族文化相冲突的情况下 ,与本民族文化有机结合 ,从而构成新的体系。反映那善壮族区域文化网络粘合方式的婚姻圈与市场圈、祭祀圈虽有重合 ,但不尽一致 ,美国学者施坚雅 (G .WilliomSkinner)在研究中国农村的基础上提出的市场体系理论 ,以及日本学者冈田谦在研究台湾乡村社会之后提出的祭祀圈理论 ,并不能完全适用于壮族。传统婚姻圈的打破既是壮族婚姻文化变迁的重要内容 。
