哈萨克族幼子继承制的遗存与变迁——以紫泥泉种羊场为例

The Remains and Changes of the Kazakhs' Ultimo Geniture

文章通过田野调查,从人类学的角度描述哈萨克族幼子继承制的遗存及其变迁。生产生活方式,养儿防老的观念,遵循先民习俗是幼子继承制长期存在的原因。哈萨克族家庭成员很少为分配财产发生矛盾,这其中幼子继承制发挥了重要的作用,它还起到了平衡利益和老有所养的社会功能。

This paper describes the remains and changes of the Kazakhs＇ Ultimo geniture from the anthropological perspective. It exists so long simply because of their production and life-style, the concept of supporting the elderly and following the customs of their ancestors.Kazak family members rarely have conflicts over property allocation, in which the ultimo geniture plays a significant role. It also balances the interests and sense of security.
