传统与现代之间:中国农村婚姻结识方式的路径分析(1950—1980年代)

Between the Tradition and Modern:an Analysis on the Way of Getting to Know Each Other for Marriage in China's Rural Areas(1950s—1980s)

在20世纪50年代到80年代,中国农村的婚姻结识方式基本上有四种情况,即包办婚姻、媒人牵线、中间人介绍、自己结识。从上海郊区、河南省潢川以及黑龙江的下岬村的个案比较可以看出,自己结识配偶的比例都呈上升趋势,但比例不高;不同经济发展水平的地区,结识方式差别比较大;男女的相识途径并不仅仅依赖经济的发展;男女相识的途径并不是单线发展的,而是互相交织的。中国农村的婚姻结识方式的发展路径体现了传统因素和现代因素之间的博弈关系。

From 1950s to 1980s, there were four ways of getting to know each other for marriage in China＇ s rural areas, which were arranged marriage, matchmaker＇ s introduc- tion, other＇ s introduction and acquaintance by themselves. By the comparison of suburbs of Shanghai, Huangchuan of Henan and Xiajiaeun of Heilongjiang, we can find that the way of acquaintance by their own was up in trend, but its percentage was not high. Ways of getting to know each other for marriage are quite different in different areas with different levels of economic development, but it doesn＇ t only rely on economic development. Ways of getting to know each other for marriage are not single lined, but intertwined together, which re- flect the game relation between the traditional and modern factors.
