论早期东亚华人社团形成的主要纽带

A Study on Factors of Establishment of overseas Chinese Organizations in East Asia before 20^(th) Century

华人社团是维系早期华人社会存在的主要支柱。20世纪以前,华人社团的纠合因素,以地缘纽带最为重要,各类社团都有强烈的地缘色彩。神缘纽带和秘密会社是催生早期华人社团的重要因素。方言群是华人纠合的最宽泛的纽带。同方言的社群,通常意味着来自共同或邻近的家乡。神缘和宗亲组织,是在同乡的基础上进一步强调血缘和神缘纽带。

The overseas Chinese organizations had been the main pillar for the survival of overseas Chinese societies.Before the 20th Century,although clan,worship,religion,business,Chinese education,public welfare and even the political purpose could be used for the cohesion to establish an organization,the common hometown in China had been the most important cohesion for the united overseas Chinese.Even the difference of Chinese secret societies in Southeast Asia was also based on their different hometowns.
