乡村社会人际关系网络中的礼物交换——以贵州白沙村为例

Gift Exchange in Interpersonal Network of Rural Society——Take Baisha Village in Guizhou for an Example

中国崇尚礼尚往来,礼物在你来我往中表达并形成了社会关系,纷繁复杂的礼物交换折射出人际关系网络。而今,农村的礼物交换之风盛行,礼物已失去最本真的意义,甚至成为农民的负担。

China is a society advocating reciprocity, and gifts in China express and connect the social rela-tionship during the process of give-and-take. Numerous and complicated gift exchange reflects an interperson-al network. However, the custom of gift exchange is prevailing in rural areas, and gifts have lost their most natu-ral significance as well as have become more complicated at the same time, being the burden of farmers.
