浅析河南泌阳城郊农民追崇男丁的生育文化

The Analysis of the Fertility Culture of the Suburban farmers' Preference for Boys in Bi Yang County of Henan Province

在国家计划生育政策的影响下,泌阳城郊农民对女孩的重视程度前所未有,但有生育能力的夫妻都不约而同地保证在整个生育周期拥有一个男丁。泌阳城郊农民追崇男丁文化形成的主要原因,在于男丁拥有绝对的继承权。泌阳的姓氏宗族文化、祖先崇拜、风水文化等都给予男丁绝对的继承权,使男丁在家庭中的重要地位无可撼动。

In the influence of the National Family Planning Policy, Biyang suburban farmers attach great importance to girls, but all the couples in their fertility cycles are trying to have another boy. The reason that Biyang suburban farmers prefer to boys lies in the facts that boys have the absolute inherits right. The surname ancestral culture, ancestor worship culture, and fengshui culture give boys absolute right to inherit, which make their status stable in the family.
