乡村宗族变异与现代社会的适应——以武鸣县横塘人为例

Variation of Rural Clans and Adaptation to Modern Society——Taking the Hengtang People in Wuming County as an Example

随着20世纪80年代社会的转型,宗族发展也进入到一个新的拐点。文章通过对武鸣县汉族的一个支系——横塘人(平话人)的宗族进行调查发现,尽管现代宗族的传统物质要素缺失严重,但是族人关注更多的是宗族文化的发展。进而认为这是建立在旧宗族形态基础上的变异体,并长期适应着现代社会的变迁。

The transformation of the society in 1980s serves as a turning point of clan development. This papar presents a clan survey of Hengtang people who are a branch of Han Chinese Nationality in Wuming County and the finding is that the clansmen attach much importance to the development of clan culture though some traditional elements of modern clans are missing, which is considered as a variation based on the old clan shape and an attempt to suit the social changes.
