A study on imitated kinship of “brothers” in east Zhejiang province: Based on the investigation of Xiawan village in Ninghai county

通过对一个浙东村庄社会关系的调研发现,以互助为主要目的的"弟兄家"拟制亲属现象在当地村庄非常普遍,构成农民社会互助体系的重要补充。"弟兄家"关系具有功能性强、组织性强、私人性强及适应性强的特征。由弱血缘关系和弱地缘关系共同塑造的弱社会关系结构以及"自给自足"的小农经济塑造的村民向内的生活面向,是"弟兄家"关系产生的村庄社会基础。"弟兄家"、血缘、地缘关系三种关系形态在村庄中"三足鼎立"、各得其所。

Based on a survey in the east village of Zhejiang province, It is found that the imitated kinship of “brothers” aimed at mutual help is a common phenomenon in the local village and it constitutes the important supplements of farmers＇ social mutual aid system. The “brothers” relationship has the characteristics of strongly functional 、 organizational, individual and strong adaptability. The weak social structure which is shaped by weak blood relationship and weak geopolitical relations, and the inward life orientation which is shaped by the small-scale, self-sufficient economy, is the social basis of “brothers”relationship. Blood relationship, geopolitical relations and “brother” relationship forms the tripartite confrontation in village, each in its proper place.
