婚姻家庭是最能体现性别关系的社会基本形式。与稻作文明相联系,壮族婚姻家庭中的性别关系具有自己的显著特点,即都是男性占据主导的情况下,壮族妇女的地位高于当地汉族妇女。从神话传说所透露的远古信息来看,到了人猿揖别之后,壮族的婚姻家庭才逐渐形成并不断发展,与此相应的两性地位作用也随之发生改变;但是无论从"双轨制"运行的婚姻制度,还是从不成熟的父权家长制来说,都存在较多"性别平等"的意蕴。

Marriage and family are the most basic social form to represent the gender relationship. Connected closely to rice-making civilization, the gender relationship in marriage and family of Zhuang Nationality carries its own characteristics.
