云南彝族婚姻家庭生活方式的变迁——永仁县谢腊村彝族生活方式变迁研究

The Changes in the Marriage and Family Life of Yunnan's Yi Ethnic People——A case study of the lifestyle changes of the Yi ethnic people in Xiela Village,Yongren County

50多年来,永仁县谢腊村彝族婚姻家庭生活方式发生了前所未有的变化,婚嫁打破了传统血缘、民族和地域的界限,婚姻观念发生了根本性的变化。传统的多元化婚姻模式的传承,为现代谢腊彝族实施计划生育政策提供了良好基础,"养儿防老"观念日趋淡薄。谢腊彝族家庭结构以核心家庭和直系扩大家庭为主,婚姻礼俗中的当事人、父母、媒人的角色发生了转换,青年男女在婚姻中获得了自主权,家庭关系呈民主化趋势,妇女的家庭地位得到了明显提高。这种婚姻家庭生活方式有选择性地继承了传统、吸纳了现代文化,它对谢腊彝族社会生活方式乃至社会文化的发展有着重要意义。

Over the past 50 years, unprecedented changes have taken place in marriage and family life of the Yi ethnic people in Xiela Village, Yongren County in that marriage has gone beyond the traditional boundaries of kinship, ethnicity and region following the radical changes in their idea of marriage. Diverse marital modes have paved the way for the implementation of birth control policy in the Xiela Yi village and the idea of ＂raising a son to provide against old age＂ has waned. In Xiela village, there are mostly nuclear and extended families of lineal relatives. In marital customs, roles of the bride, the bridegroom, parents, and the matchmakers have changed and the young couple has the right to decide their affairs. The family becomes more democratic and women＇ s status has been on the rise. This kind of family life has selectively inherited the traditions and has absorbed modern cultures, and it is of great significance to the social life and development of social culture of the Xiela Yi people.
