The Changes of Wedding Customs of Kazakh from Nomadism to Fixed Habitation

哈萨克族在其游牧生活中的婚俗活动丰富多彩、别具特色,踏水礼、彩礼、婚嫁仪式歌、刁羊和姑娘追等是其传统婚礼的基本习俗。随着哈萨克族从游牧到定居生活方式的转变,其婚俗在时间、彩礼、婚宴和交通等方面由传统向现代不断地发生着变迁。通过对哈萨克族传统和现代婚俗的描述和分析,可以认识到:哈萨克族由单一的民族婚俗文化不断地向多元的民族婚俗文化交融与发展。

The wedding customs of kazakh in their nomadic life are also colorful and distinctive. The customs in tradi- tional Kazakh weddings include betrothal gifts, singing songs, scrambling for a sheep and girl chasing. However with the settlement of Kazakh and the change of traditional nomadic life style, their wedding customs also change in a modern way in terms of time, betrothal gifts, wedding banquets, transportation, etc. Through the description and analysis of Ka- zakh＇s changes of wedding customs, it is becoming obvious that Kazakh＇s wedding customs are developing into a multi- ethnic interfusion style.
