拉祜西是母系社会吗？——一项基于社会血缘的考察

Is Lahu Shi Matrilineal Society?——A Study Based on the Conception of Social Consanguinity

在社会历史大调查中,拉祜西社会被认定为母系社会,其部分家庭经由双系变为父系,但是亲属关系人类学常识证明,三种血统制度在逻辑上无法同时共存于一个传统民族的特定区域。在对两个拉祜西村庄长期田野资料基础之上,通过详查其社会血缘及乱伦禁忌的覆盖范围,笔者得出拉祜西社会是不对称双边系的结论。

In the 1950s＇, researchers claimed Lahu Shi society in Lan Cang county was matrilineal and further asserted that part-families have changed from the matrilineal to patrilineal organization by way of bilateral. In fact, the knowledge of kinship has proved that three kinds of consanguinity cannot exist in the particular area where a traditional minority lives. Based on the materials of the author＇ s long-term fieldwork at two Lahu Shi villages, author makes an exhaustive study of scope of social consanguinity and incest taboo and judges that Lahu Shi society is unsymmetric bilineal.
