中国古代婚姻制度及其两性关系变迁的汉字文化考察

A Textual Research on the Chinese Characters Culture Along with the Changes of Chinese Ancient Marriage System and the Relationship of Two Sexes

中国古代婚姻制度经历了杂婚制、群婚制、对偶婚制、父权制一夫多妻制的历史变迁。在对偶婚制向父权制一夫多妻制的过渡中,掠夺婚和买卖婚相继出现,而群婚制末期出现的媵婚习俗也为父权制一夫多妻制的产生奠定了基础。在几千年漫长的婚姻制度变迁中,男女两性关系也从以女性为核心和主导逐渐演变为以男性独尊。这种婚姻制度和两性关系的变迁,在对汉字的文化考察中得以清晰地体现。
