婚姻变革的先锋——1930年代上海电影演员婚恋状况的考察

Marriage Transformation of Film Actors and Actresses in Shanghai in 1930s

1930年代的上海是中国电影制片业的黄金时代,也是传统婚姻发生激烈变革的时代。在时代的裹挟下,电影演员大多婚姻自主,不仅同居、订婚、结婚、离婚、再婚完全出于自己的意愿,而且婚礼也大多采用与传统迥异的新式婚礼、集体婚礼、西式婚礼等形式,无论是婚姻的观念、行为还是结婚仪式都走在了时代的前沿,成为当时婚姻变革的先锋。这在一定程度上也是电影演员尤其是女性电影演员通过职业取得了独立的经济地位、演员这一职业拥有广泛的社交和从业者大多热衷"表演"、喜欢追逐时髦、出风头的心理等诸多因素相互作用的结果。

Shanghai in 1930s witnessed the golden time of Chinese film industry. That was also the time when drastic changes take place in traditional marriage. Film actors and Actresses of that time followed their own inclination in the matter of marriage. Premarital cohabitation, engagement, marriage, divorce and marriage after divorce are all based on their own wills. Moreover, they had their wedding ceremonies in the new styles, such as collective wedding ceremony and western wedding ceremonies, totally different from those of traditional Chinese style. Thus, they were the pioneers of marital reform, in both the concept and the ceremony. To certain extent, it is due to the actors＇, especially the actresses＇ economic independence, wide social contact, the interest of acting, the pursuit of fashion and the fondness of being in the spotlight.
